Hundreds protest in Boston Common following pause on Ukraine aid, Musk layoffs
Briefly

In Boston Common, protesters rallied against President Trump's proposed military aid pause for Ukraine and budget cuts influenced by Elon Musk. The 'Saving Our Union' demonstration, orchestrated by the 50501 Movement, attracted around 700 individuals, many wielding Ukrainian flags and critical signs aimed at Trump. Speakers included local leader Rebecca Winter, who argued that billionaire interests were undermining democratic principles, while other local activists reinforced the call to uphold constitutional integrity. The event also incorporated charitable efforts, such as food collection for the Boston Rescue Mission, emphasizing community engagement alongside political dissent.
"We will not be silent while the checks and balances that hold our government together are being manipulated to line the pockets of billionaires," said Rebecca Winter.
Signs reading 'Trump works for Vladimir Putin' and 'Impeach Trump' were in the front of the crowd, facing the speakers on the bandstand.
