Global Search for Justice: No Kings - Trump Effigies

Angela Preuss | Minnesota, United States

On March 28, 2026, more than 3,000 “No Kings” rallies took place across the United States. In St. Paul, Minnesota, the crowd was estimated at 200,000. Yet several major news organizations described these gatherings as fringe events with no coherent agenda. Some even suggested that older protesters were simply reliving the demonstrations of the 1960s, treating the day as a nostalgic performance rather than a political act.

This exhibit — along with my broader body of work — documents a very different reality. The No Kings rallies carried a clear and forceful message: No Kings. Many participants explicitly invoked Donald Trump as the figure they believed embodied that warning. The effigies featured in this exhibit make that message unmistakable, offering material evidence of the rally’s intent, creativity, and collective voice.
