Third No Kings March Expected to Bring Thousands to Colorado Boulevard on Saturday

Organizers say the Pasadena demonstration is one of more than 3,000 nationwide protests planned for March 28

San Gabriel Foothills Indivisible plans to stage its third “No Kings” march along Colorado Boulevard on Saturday, sending participants from Pasadena City College to City Hall in what organizers say will draw thousands to the city’s main commercial corridor during peak weekend hours.

The demonstration marks the third time in nine months that the volunteer group has organized a mass protest in Pasadena, following events in June and October 2025 that drew more than 4,000 people. The march is part of more than 3,000 protests planned nationwide for March 28.

Participants will gather at 11 a.m. at the PCC Reflecting Pool near Colorado Boulevard and Marion Avenue. The march to City Hall begins at 11:15 a.m., led by National Day Laborers musicians, and is expected to reach the Garfield Avenue steps by noon, according to the organization’s announcement. Those who prefer not to march can go directly to City Hall at 100 N. Garfield Ave.

Music will be provided by local band the Nextdoors and DJ Richie C, beginning at noon, followed by speakers at 12:30 p.m., according to the SGFI announcement.

Tim Rich, Priest-in-Charge at All Saints Church Pasadena, is listed as a speaker on the church’s event calendar. SGFI’s announcement describes additional speakers as “elected officials and other dynamic speakers” but does not name them. (The October 2025 rally featured Rep. Judy Chu, State Sen. Sasha Renée Pérez, Mayor Victor Gordo, and Councilmember Rick Cole.)

SGFI organizer Patrick R. Briggs said ahead of the October event that the group maintains regular contact with city officials.

“Our positive relationships with City Hall and Pasadena PD help us tremendously; they made all the difference on No Kings I,” Briggs told Pasadena Now.

SGFI, an all-volunteer chapter of the national Indivisible network, draws members from Pasadena, La Crescenta, La Cañada, Monrovia, and surrounding communities, according to Pasadena Now. The group has held weekly “Save U.S. Saturdays” protests at Colorado Boulevard and Fair Oaks Avenue since Jan. 24.

The event is free and open to the public. Those who wish to RSVP can do so at mobilize.us/mobilize/event/846586, and additional information is available at SanGabrielFoothillsIndivisible.org.

Nationally, organizers told Politico they are aiming for nearly 9 million participants on March 28. In California alone, 320 events are currently tracked, according to FOX 11 Los Angeles.

Following the March 28 protests, the coalition plans to pivot toward local legislative advocacy and voter protection ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
