Widespread protests continue across the U.S. with hundreds gathering outside Los Angeles City Hall on Wednesday and nationwide. Demonstrators are against President Donald Trump’s executive orders, including his immigration crackdown, rollback of transgender rights, as well as his proposal for Gaza.
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside Los Angeles City Hall on Wednesday, marking the fourth day of demonstrations against U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest policies. Protesters expressed opposition to several executive orders, including the crackdown on immigration, rollback of transgender rights, and Trump’s controversial plans for Gaza.
The rally was part of a nationwide protest organized by the 50501 Movement where demonstrators are gathering to take a stand against the president’s actions.
14-year-old protester Lizeth Rivera explained, "I've seen a lot of hatred, whether it be towards trans, LGBTQ, Latinos, all types of communities have been just, there's just so much bias and hatred out there. I've been a victim of it. And I thought this is a perfect moment. History is being made right in front of me. I will come out here and I will stand for what I believe in."
Emily Kuffner, a 48-year-old Spanish teacher, shared her frustration: "In 2016 we didn't know what he was really going to do in office. But now we know. I don't know. I don't understand how he got elected. I can't understand how people are okay with this and I hope that people will start to push back before it's too late."
Demonstrators are calling for the defence of democracy and rejecting Trump’s policies. Along with criticizing the President, some protesters also voiced opposition to billionaire Elon Musk, who now heads Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency.
