CLEVELAND, Ohio. – No Kings 3 Cleveland, part of a national day of action against President Donald Trump and his policies, kicked off in downtown Cleveland at the Free Stamp at Willard Park at 1pm on Sat., March 28, 2026. Thousands turned out from across Northeast Ohio, organizers said. It was the third nationwide No Kings protest in under a year.
Cleveland's event was one of some 3,000 rallies and marches countrywide, including nearly 100 in Ohio alone.
Women's March National was one of the No King's partners, so Women's March Cleveland joined the coalition for the rally and march in Cleveland.
"We participated and were pleased that the organizers of Women's March Cleveland were invited to join the No Kings 3 coalition and to speak at the rally," said Women's March Cleveland head organizer Kathy Wray Coleman.
Coleman reminded the tentative crowd that "Black Lives Matter," and "Black women matter," and said Black women and Black people feel the brunt of "trickle down corruption" from Washington, D.C. operatives.
"What they are doing to White women and White people trickles down to Black women, and Black people," the Black activist said.
Issues addressed by the speakers ranged from concerns regarding immigration harassment by ICE to reproductive rights, and the war in Iran, with speakers emphasizing that President Trump initiated the Iran war without congressional approval.
Ohio state Sen. Nickie Antonio, also the Senate minority leader, was the mistress of ceremonies for the event, which drew an array of speakers, also including former Ohio Supreme Court Justice Michael Donnelly, attorney Subodh Chandra, Ohio State Board of Education Member Delores Gray Ford, activist Alysa Cooper Moskey, Tessa Xuan, Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne, and Lakewood Councilwoman Angela Hamilton Steine.
