On Friday, Boston witnessed a significant rally against the policies of President Trump, drawing hundreds in freezing weather. Supported by over 100 civil rights, environmental, and progressive groups, participants voiced their discontent through chants like "Stop the coup" and signs proclaiming, "I Love Democracy." Speakers highlighted threats to marginalized communities, urging collective action against perceived governmental dismantling. With personal stories emphasizing the risks to future generations, the rally underscored a widespread concern regarding the erosion of rights and the inclusivity of immigrant and LGBTQ+ communities, framing these issues as central to preserving democracy.
"I'm here because I'm extremely concerned about my grandchildren, especially my granddaughter who's not going to have the same rights that I have had in terms of controlling my body and all the rights that we've experienced..."
"It's important to stand up and protest and not just stay home and do nothing. I feel compelled to stand up for what's right. What is happening now is very wrong."
"Our government is trying to erase our people, the people that make up our beautiful country including queer people, trans people, immigrants, Black and Indigenous people of color."
