Free Speech for People’s (FSFP) campaign—which also includes
billboard trucks and projections in Washington, DC—comes
ahead of the third wave of “No Kings” demonstrations, which are set to
take place Saturday in thousands of locations across the United States.
“On March 28, 2026, the people will rise up,” said FSFP digital organizing strategist Jax Foley.
“The No Kings 3 protest is
projected to be the largest mass comobilization in US history, with over 3,000
actions planned worldwide. People across this country are organizing, mobilizing,
defending their communities, and demanding accountability.”
No Kings 3 comes amid Trump’s attacks on the rule of law and
constitutional rights at home and escalating militarism abroad
as the president has bombed seven countries since returning to office—and
10 or possibly even 11 over the course of his two
terms—while backing Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.
“Donald Trump poses a direct threat to our Constitution and
to the rule of law,” FSFP president and co-founder John Bonifaz said in a
statement. “The constitutional remedy of impeachment exists
precisely for moments like this when a president abuses power, defies the law,
and attacks democracy itself.
Congress must act.”
FSFP’s petition,
which was launched on the day of Trump’s second inauguration,
urges Congress to “take action to defend our republic and Constitution” by
impeaching the president again. As of Thursday afternoon, the petition had over
1,070,000 signatures and is more than halfway to its goal of 2 million signers.
“For more than a year, FSFP’s team of lawyers, election
security experts, and grassroots organizers have been tirelessly and fiercely
leading the campaign to impeach and remove Trump and key administration
officials,” Foley said. “We have heard from people across the United States who
are with us in the call for no kings, no tyrants, and the immediate impeachment
and removal of Trump and his coconspirators. Put the power back in the hands of
We The People.”
Trump is the only US president to be impeached twice—once in 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of
justice and again in 2021 for incitement of insurrection. A
majority of senators voted to acquit Trump in 2019; a majority—but not the
requisite two-thirds—voted to convict in 2021. Both chambers of Congress are
now narrowly controlled by Trump’s GOP.
“The congressional power of impeachment is designed to
address this tyrannical threat to our democracy,” FSFP said in the New York
Times ad. “Members of Congress must abide by their oath to protect and defend
the Constitution and impeach and remove Trump from office.”
