GREENVILLE, Texas — A “No Kings” rally is scheduled for Saturday, March 28 in Greenville, part of a series of demonstrations planned across North Texas as the protest movement returns to the region.
The Greenville event will take place from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the corner of Wesley Street and Kari Ln. Organizers say the rally will include opening remarks, a featured speaker, and a safety briefing.
“The order of the rally starts at 11am with the pledge, Evan Hunt will speak, and then a safety briefing will be conducted because it’s imperative for us to have a safe and peaceful protest,” an organizer said.
Greenville is one of several local rallies planned that day, with additional events scheduled in Frisco, Plano and McKinney.
Why the Greenville rally is taking place
Organizers of the Greenville event describe it as part of a broader national movement that began in 2025 and has continued to expand into communities across the country.
The event page for the rally uses the phrase “No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.” and frames the demonstrations around rising costs and concerns about federal leadership, encouraging people to take part in public protest.
The listing also states that a core principle of the events is nonviolent action, encouraging participants to act lawfully, avoid confrontation, and not bring weapons of any kind, including those that may be legally permitted.
Who is organizing the Greenville event
The Greenville rally is being promoted locally by the Hunt County Action Group, which has shared event information and sign-up details online.
Local Democratic Party members are involved but are not formally organizing the event. Hunt County Democratic Party Chair Larry Davis described the effort as grassroots-driven, saying the rallies are being organized by local residents rather than the party itself.
“Our No Kings events are created by grassroots Hunt Countians,” Davis said. “The Hunt County Democratic Party does not run these events, but we certainly offer our moral support.”
He said past rallies have drawn participants from different political backgrounds.
“When you scan the crowd you’ll find a mix of Democrats and Republicans who are fed up with Trump’s self-serving economic policies,” Davis said.
Building on 2025 protests across North Texas
The March 28 rallies follow a series of “No Kings” demonstrations held across North Texas in 2025, including multiple events in Collin County in cities such as Frisco, Plano and McKinney.
Those events were organized locally as part of a broader national effort and drew large crowds at several locations across the region.
Organizers at the time promoted similar messaging focused on economic concerns, federal policy decisions and public participation through peaceful demonstration.
Additional rallies planned in Frisco, Plano and McKinney
Events are scheduled throughout the day across North Texas, beginning in Frisco from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. near Farm to Market Road 423 and Old Newman Road, followed by Plano from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the northeast corner of Parker Road and Preston Road, and concluding in McKinney from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. near U.S. 380 and U.S. 75.
The events are timed in sequence across the region, allowing participants to attend multiple rallies throughout the day as activity moves from city to city.
Locations selected for the demonstrations include major intersections and high-traffic corridors, increasing visibility across each community.
Organizers for the Frisco and McKinney events note accessible layouts, including flat ground and wheelchair access, while the Plano listing directs attendees to request additional accessibility information if needed. Across all locations, organizers are also reminding participants to follow the law, avoid confrontation, and not bring weapons.
Mixed reactions to the movement
Reactions to the “No Kings” movement remain divided along political lines.
Keith Self previously criticized a related 2025 New York rally as a “Hate America rally,” citing what he described as ties to far-left groups. Other Republicans have framed similar protests as politically driven opposition following the 2024 election.
Organizers and Democratic leaders have rejected that characterization, describing the events as peaceful exercises of First Amendment rights focused on economic concerns and opposition to certain federal policies.
In North Texas, prior rallies tied to the movement drew large crowds and remained largely peaceful. Organizers for the March 28 events say they expect a similar approach.
No major counter-protests have been announced locally.
