BOSTON — More than 160 "No Kings" protests are scheduled across Massachusetts this Saturday in what organizers claim will be the largest coordinated demonstration in American history. The Dropkick Murphys are performing at the flagship rally on Boston Common. And Massachusetts apparently has more protest events planned than any state in the country except California.

Because of course it does.

"On March 28, 'we the people' are 'we the powerful,'" said Rebecca Winter, executive director of Mass 50501, in a news release. "We will show our power, build our power, and use our power to fight for a democracy that works for everyone."

The Boston Common rally is the main event — 1 to 4 p.m. with Dropkick Murphys headlining. But it's the sheer number of suburban and small-town protests that tells the story.

This isn't just a Boston thing. Protests are scheduled in more than 160 cities and towns across the Commonwealth, from the Berkshires to Cape Cod. Adams, Ashburnham, Barre, Blackstone, Chatham, Dalton, Eastham, Gardner, Granby, Great Barrington — places that don't usually make the protest circuit.

Here's a selection of where rallies are happening Saturday:

A full list of locations is available on the official "No Kings" event page.

Last year's "No Kings" protests drew millions of participants nationwide across thousands of cities and towns. Organizers say this Saturday's event is expected to be even bigger. Massachusetts has the second-most protests of any state, behind California.

Whether the actual turnout matches the ambition remains to be seen. But with the Dropkick Murphys on the bill and 160 towns participating, the Commonwealth is clearly not in the mood to stay quiet.

Massachusetts is a state governed almost entirely by women. Governor Maura Healey. Mayor Michelle Wu. Attorney General Andrea Campbell. Senator Elizabeth Warren. Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley. Senate President Karen Spilka.

Healey's administration presides over electricity rates that are nearly double the national average — the third-highest in the country. Wu's Boston Public Schools banned failing grades and then celebrated "record" graduation rates. Campbell has been accused by State Auditor Diana DiZoglio of actively conspiring to block an independent audit of the state legislature — an audit that 72 percent of Massachusetts voters approved at the ballot box. DiZoglio has accused both Healey and Campbell of "obstruction" and "gaslighting" in their efforts to kill it.

Meanwhile, the state's emergency shelter system has cost taxpayers hundreds of millions, while a cop who shot a carjacker with 47 prior charges just got charged with manslaughter by a DA the mayor called "urgent" and "thorough."
