More than 600 citizens gathered at the Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery to protest against various Trump administration policies, joining an estimated 1,400 events nationwide. Issues highlighted included Trump’s immigration policies, federal government dismantling, LGBTQ+ rights, and tariffs impacting the stock market. Organizers were surprised by the large turnout, with a nonprofit Indivisible organizer noting that about 10 times more people showed up than expected. State Rep. Phillip Ensler expressed hope that the protests would send a message to lawmakers about public concerns. Meanwhile, some Alabamians, like Zeb Lemon and Melanie Kolowski, participated in the Washington D.C. protest, describing a heavy presence of security fencing around the White House as a sign of the administration’s fear of the people. Thousands also marched in other cities like New York and Boston over the weekend. The protests underscored the power of the people in voicing opposition to those in power, emphasizing the importance of civic engagement and activism in shaping political discourse and policy decisions.
