We look at the organizing work happening across the country as communities prepare for March 28, No Kings.
Across the United States, 50501 groups are coordinating events, trainings, and volunteer efforts that help turn a national day of action into real community participation. From sign-making gatherings and safety trainings to carpools, mutual aid drives, and local organizing meetings, these preparations show how public demonstrations are built through local leadership and collaboration.
The episode also reflects on the 1963 March on Washington, where organizers led by Bayard Rustin coordinated transportation, safety planning, and local organizing across the country before 250,000 people gathered on the National Mall. That effort showed how national movements depend on local preparation and community coordination.
Listeners will hear examples of how communities are preparing for March 28 in places such as:
Atlanta, Georgia
Boston, Massachusetts
Richmond, Virginia
Central Oregon
Missouri statewide organizing
Together, these efforts show how large national moments are built through planning, cooperation, and community leadership.
