Crowds Gather for a Massive Protest Against Trump Policies

People started arriving early Saturday in cities all over the country, from Maine to Florida, to join a big protest against President Trump’s actions. The main rally took place in St. Paul, Minnesota, a city that recently experienced violent police actions during an immigration raid where two Americans were killed. The organizers expect millions of people to take part, calling it the biggest peaceful protest ever in U. S. history. More than 3, 200 marches are planned across all fifty states and even in other countries. Protesters will shout about their anger over Trump’s war with Iran, the rise of gas prices, and his plan to deport many people. St. Paul was chosen because it reminds people of the violence that happened there, and it shows how far the protest’s message has spread. A spokesperson for a national group said that after the last protests, people are still dealing with higher living costs and an ongoing war in Iran. She added that the government has harmed American citizens, and that many young people are forced to fight for their own rights. The group says the whole nation is upset and wants no “kings” in government.A recent poll showed that most voters do not approve of the president’s handling of immigration, Iran, and inflation. The protest organizers come from left‑leaning groups like Indivisible, Public Citizen, MoveOn, the ACLU, and the National Action Network. They believe this third protest will be even larger than the first two. In October, more than 7 million people marched worldwide. The leaders are encouraged that over half of the registered protest sites are in Republican‑leaning or swing states. One co‑president said that standing together against kings is a patriotic act, not a partisan one. The first protest in June 2025 was held after Trump announced a military parade on his birthday and threatened heavy force against demonstrators. Since the beginning, the group has promised non‑violence and plans to stay peaceful even if federal agents respond. When asked about the protests, a White House spokesperson dismissed them as “reporter‑only” events.
