100,000 protested in Boston alone were estimated
Thousands against Donald Trump's politics gathered on April 5 to take part in the nationwide “hands” demonstrations.
The growing opposition movement held demonstrations at more than 1,200 locations in all 50 countries. Advocacy groups that work for LGTBQ+ and civil rights, unions and veteran activists took to the street to protest against Trump's presidency. Thousands turned out. CBS News reported that 100,000 were protested in Boston alone.
From Palestine to immigration, all problems increased as part of the Trump administration were addressed by demonstrators. The demonstrators also condemned Elon Musk and his lead over the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), which led to the federal discharge. Musk's crusade to reduce the federal government under Dogy has triggered a widespread counter -reaction, which made him a secondary figure that can condemn it in rallies.
The activists present explained their intentions to make their voices clear and known. According to the Associated Press, Trump's actions were held as “personal” attacks on the American people.
“The attacks we see are not only political. They are personal, they are personal,” Kelley Robinson, President of the Advocacy Group of the human rights campaign. “They try to forbid our books, they reduce the financing of the HIV prevention, they criminalize our doctors, our teachers, our families and our lives.”
She added: “We don't want this America, all of you … We want America that we deserve, where dignity, security and freedom do not belong to some of us, but to all of us.”
Many believe that criticism should be impartial, with a brewing war making living conditions worrying for everyone.
“Regardless of her party, regardless of whom you chose, what is going on today is what is going on today,” said Britt Castillo, who took part in the rally in Charlotte, North Carolina. “It is disgusting and broken as our current system, as the current administration tries to repair things – it is not the way to do it. They don't listen to people.”
Although rallies “out” without arrests or well -known violence, a municipality has drawn into the background in particular from civil disobedience. Many have also proclaimed black activists and organization of groups so as not to take part in the rallies.
However, some note the 92% promise of black women who voted for Kamala Harris. In addition to other members of the black community, they promised that they would not be rescue during Trump's reign.
The middle blogger and author Toni Crowe told the platform why black people, especially women, decided to complain.
“We expected Trump's Republican government to behave exactly how they behave,” she wrote in a number of points. “We understand that Republican administration constantly brings out racist racial rage to provoke us. Dei and diversity initiatives did not work for blacks. The women and military veterans were most affected. It was a shame that they did not recognize that or maybe they had chosen or maybe not.”
While the Black Community does not protest directly against Trump with the other demonstrators of the “hands”, the civil leaders have launched an apparently successful boycott against an anti-deed company.
