Large-scale "No Kings" protests swept across the United States on March 28, with demonstrators rallying US government's policies, particularly on immigration enforcement and the war in Iran. Reuters reported that more than 3,200 events were planned across all 50 states, with significant turnouts in cities including New York, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta.

CGTN Stringer spoke with several protesters in Los Angeles about how the escalation of the US-Iran conflict is affecting their daily expenses. "Since the energy crisis in the 1970s, we haven't witnessed such an increase in oil prices," said Alyssa. David, another protester, said after the oil prices went up he had to drive less.
