Thousands of protesters gathered in Washington, D.C., and across the United States on Saturday, as part of approximately 1,200 demonstrations expected to be the largest single day of protest against President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk since they launched a rapid-fire effort to overhaul government and expand presidential power.
Under the dismal sky and mild rain, people flooded into the grassy area surrounding the Washington Monument. Organisers told Reuters that around 20,000 people were expected to join a demonstration on the National Mall.
Opponents of the Republican president’s policies, which range from reduced government employment to trade tariffs and eroded civil rights, gathered in Washington, New York, Houston, Florida, Colorado, and Los Angeles, among other cities.
