Millions of protestors gathered across the US on Saturday across thousands of events to protest against Donald Trump\u2019s administration in a planned series of events called \u201cNo Kings\u201d.<\/p>\n

Organized by a coalition of groups, the demonstrations were largely peaceful, though they occurred on the same day Minnesota lawmakers were shot, and one killed, in political violence, and just a week after the federal government ordered military to descend on Los Angeles streets to quell protests there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Guardian spoke to dozens of protesters across the country about the mass demonstrations. Here is what they said.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania<\/p>\n

Other people have the right to work hard and make a life for themselves when they come from a country where they can\u2019t do that or are facing political oppression or are desperate,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is supposed to be the land of opportunity and a land built on immigrants.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a perverse show of power, unnecessarily,\u201d he said of Trump\u2019s military parade in Washington. \u201cFor the most part, the administration is pushing forth an agenda and people have been asleep at the wheel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Major said that he was there to protest everything that Trump has done over the past several decades, \u201cincluding not letting Black people rent his apartments in New York and arresting people for no reason just because they\u2019re people of color\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a veteran during the Vietnam era, I know a couple of guys who died in combat to fight for the things that Trump is destroying now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t stand up and make your voices heard, then change won\u2019t happen,\u201d Rusty said. \u201cWhat he\u2019s doing is shredding our constitution, our government.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGowan carried a sign with the names of the two lawmakers \u2013 Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman \u2013 and a red heart. He made it this morning after the news broke about the shootings. \u201cWe all know, for Americans, that democracy doesn\u2019t come with a guarantee of safety, and that you fight for that kind of thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
