On Presidents Day, approximately 1,000 people marched in Boston to protest President Donald Trump's policies, demonstrating against his administration and advisor Elon Musk. Organized by the 50501 Movement, the protest called out the administration's perceived anti-democratic actions. Attendees braved freezing temperatures, displaying Revolutionary War-era attire and slogans denouncing plutocracy. The rally, part of a coordinated effort across major U.S. cities, sought to challenge Trump's power and demand a return to democratic values that prioritize the general populace over wealthy elites.
Emily Manning, a Boston engineer, stated, "I thought it was important to be here on Presidents Day to demonstrate for what America stands for. American values are not the values of the plutocracy or the limited few rich people."
Protesters brandished signs with slogans like "This is a Coup" and "Cowards Bow to Trump, Patriots Stand Up," highlighting their dissent against Trump and Musk.
The protests, dubbed "No Kings on Presidents Day," aimed to target the "anti-democratic and illegal actions of the Trump administration and its plutocratic allies," according to the organizers.
In the face of freezing temperatures, protesters passionately chanted slogans such as "Elon Musk has got to go" and "No kings on Presidents Day!" during the march from Statehouse to City Hall.
