DAYTON, Ohio, March 28, 2026 – Daytonians turned out en masse to join the third nation wide “No Kings” protest. The rally was held at the Courthouse Square in downtown Dayton and featured speakers, a band and more. After the speeches concluded the crowd marched through the streets on a preplanned route.

Many people gathered for different reasons: Some were protesting the U.S.’s aid of Israel and the occupation of Palestine. Others were picketing for the release of the Epstein Files, the military aggression in Iran, voter ID laws and much more.

Over 3000 “No Kings” rallies were set to take place across the country on March 28. HANNAH KICHLINE
