As Millions Protest, Marchers Raise Mental Health – Their Own and Trump’s – with Biting Humor
The No King’s protest drew millions of people around the U.S. on Saturday. Demonstrators made clear in signs and interviews that they were there to improve their own mental health – and to express their outrage at Donald Trump’s policies and mental status. This photo essay offers a glimpse.
At more than 3,000 individual demonstrations in all 50 states – and across the world – millions of marchers protested against the Trump administration’s policies on a wide variety of issues. Organizers with the No Kings Coalition pegged the total number of participants at 8 to 9 million, potentially making it the largest demonstration in U.S. history.
MindSite News editors Rob Waters and Diana Hembree went to the marches in New York City and San Francisco and captured the sights and some sounds from the events.
