The demonstrators went again in the streets through the country on Saturday in the second wave of demonstrations this month, while the organizers seek to transform dissatisfaction with the presidency of Donald Trump into a mass movement which will translate into the action of the ballot boxes.
Large demonstrations have taken place from the east to west coast, in big cities like Washington, New York and Chicago, as well as Rhode Island, Maryland, Wisconsin, Tennessee, South Carolina, among others. Americans abroad also reported their opposition to the Trump agenda in the Irish capital of Dublin and other cities.
In San Francisco, the demonstrators formed a human chain to spell the words “Impeach remove!” While holding the American flag upside down.
The demonstrations crossed the lines of the parties, say the organizers
The 50501 movement behind the “Hand-Off” demonstrations said that it sought to send a message to opposition politicians and ordinary voters that vocal resistance to Trump policies was essential. He also said that the demonstrators were supporters of different parties.
“We have recorded democrats, independent and recorded from Republicans who all work because they all believe in America, because they all believe in a fair government that puts people before the benefits,” said organizer Heather Dunn.
