Associated Press<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe demonstrations, titled \u201cHands Off!\u201d<\/strong>, are organized by more than 150 civil groups. Organizers expect that the main rally in Washington will gather over 20,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\nProtesters are dissatisfied with actions by the Trump administration regarding the dismissal of federal employees, the closure of local Social Security offices, the dismantling of entire agencies, the deportation of immigrants, the reduction of protections for transgender people, and cuts to federal funding of healthcare programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Washington, some demonstrators came to the protest with Ukrainian flags, while others wore keffiyeh scarves in support of Palestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thousands of people also gathered in Boston, Massachusetts. They held signs reading \u201cHands off our democracy,\u201d \u201cHands off our Social Security,\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cEqual inclusion of diversity makes America strong.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn Florida, hundreds of people held a demonstration in Palm Beach Gardens, just a few kilometers from Trump\u2019s golf club. People lined both sides of the road, calling on drivers to honk in support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump himself was also in Florida, where he played golf at his club and then returned to his residence at Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the White House, in response to the protesters\u2019 accusations, they said that \u201cthe president\u2019s position is clear: he will always protect Social Security, Medicare, and healthcare for the appropriate beneficiaries.\u201d At the same time, they criticized the Democrats for \u201cproviding benefits and healthcare to illegal foreigners,\u201d which, according to the Trump administration, could lead to the bankruptcy of federal programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few hours before the protests began in the United States, protests also took place in Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris, and London. Additionally, it was announced that rallies would be held in Canada and Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
