Demonstrations against the Trump administration have been ongoing and building for over a year, and there’s a very big one scheduled for Saturday, March 28: it’s the third round of the nationwide protest called “No Kings.” There are many protests scheduled around the Triangle, including one in Chapel Hill-Carrboro that’s being organized by Indivisible Orange County: attendees will gather at the 140 West Plaza at 3:45 p.m. and march to Carrboro Town Commons for a rally beginning at 5:00. Organizers say they’re expecting at least 5,000 at the rally.
