Ypsilanti’s second No Kings protest set for March 28, 2026

Ypsilanti Indivisible has announced its second "No Kings Day" protest in Ypsilanti, Michigan, scheduled for March 28, 2026. This demonstration is part of a broader national movement, which originated on June 14, 2025, in response to policies of the Trump administration, and saw millions of protesters take to the streets nationwide. Gordon McAllister, founder of Ypsilanti Indivisible, stated that the upcoming protest will begin at the Ypsilanti Farmer’s Marketplace, featuring a kids' table and sign-making supplies before a march and rally down Washington Street and Michigan Avenue. The protest will address a range of issues, including ongoing opposition to a data center project planned by the University of Michigan and Los Alamos National Laboratory in Ypsilanti Township. Other key focuses include immigration enforcement actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the "Free Krystal Clark" movement, which advocates for prison reform under the Michigan Department of Corrections due to a prisoner's medical issues. McAllister emphasized the non-violent, upbeat atmosphere of the protest, encouraging attendees to express their opinions through signs, colorful clothing, music, and community connection. He hopes for a significant turnout of college students from Eastern Michigan University, stressing the importance of young people in shaping the future and advocating against policies that impact them most.
