On Saturday, people across the United States gathered to protest against President Donald Trump’s administration. From big cities like New York and Washington, D.C., to smaller towns, citizens took to the streets, saying they are worried about threats to America’s democracy and freedoms.
In New York City, protesters marched through midtown Manhattan. In Washington, D.C., people gathered near the White House. In Massachusetts, a group protested during an event marking the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War’s beginning.
One protester, 80-year-old Thomas Bassford from Maine, joined the protest near Boston with his family. He said, “This is a dangerous time for American freedom. I want my grandsons to understand that sometimes we need to fight to protect our rights.”
In Denver, Colorado, hundreds of people gathered at the state capitol. They held signs supporting immigrants and opposing Trump’s policies, including one that said, “Hands Off!”

Thousands marched in Portland, Oregon, while in San Francisco, people stood on the beach and formed the words “Impeach & Remove.” Many held U.S. flags upside down, a sign of national distress. In Anchorage, Alaska, protesters carried signs explaining their reasons for joining the rally. One sign read, “No sign is BIG enough to list ALL the reasons I’m here!”
Some groups protested outside Tesla car dealerships, criticizing Elon Musk, a Trump adviser, for supporting cuts to the federal government. Other groups chose peaceful ways to show their concerns—like organizing food drives, teaching sessions, and volunteering at shelters.
These protests happened just two weeks after similar nationwide demonstrations, showing ongoing public opposition to the Trump administration.
