The protesters were particularly critical of Trump and his party’s stance on abortion, climate change, gun violence and immigrant rights.
Two days before Donald Trump’s inauguration, thousands of people protested in Washington on Saturday against the new US president and the policies of his Republican Party. The participants first gathered in parks in the center of Washington, then went to the Lincoln Memorial. It was reported by the AFP agency.
In particular, the protesters criticized Trump and his party’s stance on abortion, climate change, gun violence and immigrant rights.
The People’s March was organized by several civil rights groups and other organizations. Among the participants were the organizers of the Women’s March, which was attended by hundreds of thousands of people in the US capital after Trump’s first inauguration in 2017.
Trump is returning to the White House four years after defeating his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, in November’s presidential election. He announced that he would sign a number of executive orders immediately after taking the oath. One of his priorities is measures to deport millions of undocumented migrants. During his first week in office, he also wants to visit Los Angeles, which is plagued by devastating forest fires.
