  • On June 15, nationwide protests occurred across all 50 states with millions opposing President Trump’s policies.

  • Protesters focused on issues like migrant deportations, tax benefits favoring the wealthy, and National Guard deployments.

  • The events highlighted a sharp divide between grassroots democratic activism and an orchestrated display of presidential power.
  • I hope it raises people’s awareness of the violations of our constitution that Trump is committing.
