The backstory:

"No Kings" protests were organized by Indivisible, a nonprofit coalition of political action groups, according to its website. 

According to the 50501 Movement website, the organization states that the core principle behind all "No Kings" events is a commitment to nonviolent action, and participants are expected to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation. No weapons of any kind should be taken to "No Kings" events, the website noted. 

No Kings protests planned across Arizona on March 28

Protesters are planning demonstrations across Arizona on Saturday as part of a nationwide protest against the Trump administration.

The "No Kings" theme was arranged by the 50501 Movement. Demonstrators have called for Trump to be "dethroned" as they compare his actions to those of a king and not a democratically elected president.

Dig deeper:

The term "No Kings" was coined by the 50501 Movement, a national movement made up of people who stand for democracy and against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement.
