On Saturday, people all over the United States gathered to protest against President Trump’s policies. ๐ There were demonstrations in all 50 states, from big cities like New York and Chicago to small towns.
About 2,000 protests took place, with thousands of people joining in. They held signs, chanted slogans, and marched together to show how they feel.
The protests were part of a ‘Day of Defiance’ called ‘No Kings’. Many groups came together to organize these events, speaking out against what they see as unfair policies.
In Los Angeles, over 25,000 people marched through the streets! ๐ซ In New York City, about 50,000 people joined the protests, shouting things like “No Justice, No Peace!”
In Atlanta, protesters sang a new version of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” singing “Take Trump Out of the White House.” ๐ต
Some people were worried about the protests turning violent, but organizers asked everyone to stay peaceful. In Houston, over 15,000 people gathered calmly to make their voices heard.
On the same day, President Trump held a military parade in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday. ๐
Many young people and families joined the protests, hoping to make a difference. One protester said, “This is a democracy, not a monarchy! The policies are not right, and we need to stand up.”
The day showed how people can come together to express their opinions and stand up for what they believe in. ๐ฝ
