PORTRAIT OF A PROTEST
Not everyone was happy about the prospect of the next four years. Although anti-Trump protests were smaller than in 2017, thousands of activists held a People’s March on Saturday and others turned out in the snow for a protest on Monday.
Cameron White, 27, from Manassas in Virginia, attended Monday’s event. He is an organiser for the Party for Socialism and Liberation, he said.
“We are not an anti-Trump protest. Trump is just a representative of a larger system. And that’s the system that we are organizing and we are trying to combat against,” said White.
Morgan Artyukhina, from Washington, said she was worried about what was coming. Like others at the protest, she said she was concerned about what Trump’s presidency will mean for immigrants, for the poor, and for LGBTQ people.
But she said she also felt a sense of solidarity from those like her who opposed his policies.
