No Kings organizers are gearing up to bring large-scale marches back to North Texas on March 28, with synchronized rallies planned across the region. The biggest crowds are expected downtown in Fort Worth and at Dallas City Hall, while smaller satellite actions are slated for Arlington, Burleson, Southlake and surrounding suburbs.
According to local schedules shared with the media, Fort Worth’s main rally is set for 2 to 5 p.m. at General Worth Square (900 Main St.), with speakers and Indigenous performances scheduled before a march steps off around 4 p.m. Dallas organizers are planning a noon to 3 p.m. gathering at Dallas City Hall (1500 Marilla St.). Additional actions include an Arlington event from 10 a.m. to noon at 700 E. Abram St., a Southlake gathering from 10 a.m. to noon at Rustin & Family Park (1400 E. Southlake Blvd.), and a Burleson picket outside a Wells Fargo branch from 1 to 3 p.m., as reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Organizers are casting March 28 as a nationwide day of nonviolent action and are urging volunteers to complete trainings and review protest-rights information on the movement’s site. No Kings offers event registration for local organizers as well as safety trainings, and national coverage has highlighted the movement’s growth since 2025. NBC News reported that organizers estimated nearly 7 million people participated in the October 2025 wave across roughly 2,700 events.
What To Expect Downtown
Fort Worth officials are warning that traffic around General Worth Square will be tight for several hours, with street closures on 9th Street from Houston to Commerce and on Main Street from 8th to 9th. Drivers should plan for delays, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Downtown businesses have been advised to expect intermittent congestion and reduced curb access during the busiest hours.
Safety and What To Bring
Organizers are stressing nonviolence as a core principle. The No Kings toolkit instructs participants not to bring weapons and promotes safety-marshal trainings along with ACLU-led “know your rights” sessions ahead of the marches. No Kings also links to local trainings and volunteer sign-ups for marshal roles.
Past actions have not been entirely without serious incidents. In October 2025, a vehicle struck a demonstrator in Riverside and two people were later arrested, according to AP News. Organizers and police say that is part of why de-escalation planning and coordinated marshaling are high priorities. Local groups say they are working with law enforcement to reduce risks and keep march routes clear, according to KERA.
Sabrina Ball, a Fort Worth organizer who has spoken at previous No Kings events, has described these mobilizations as a reminder that political authority “comes from the people” rather than intimidation, a message local organizers have repeated in press materials and interviews. Coverage of earlier North Texas rallies has noted Ball’s role in coordinating actions and community outreach ahead of major events, according to The Dallas Morning News.
For anyone planning to attend, organizers and local outlets recommend bringing water, identification, and a fully charged phone, wearing comfortable shoes for long stretches on your feet, and plotting your route with downtown closures in mind. They also suggest checking event pages for last-minute updates and being prepared for sizable crowds in the afternoon and early evening.
