On International Women's Day, Thousands Gather to Protest Trump
Briefly

On International Women's Day, thousands rallied across the United States to protest President Donald Trump's policies and actions, including his handling of the Ukraine war and restrictions on reproductive and transgender rights. The protests, numbering around 300, saw varying levels of participation, with notable turnouts in places like Washington Square Park, as demonstrators united in their concerns about the perceived erosion of democracy and women's rights. This sentiment was echoed by both seasoned and first-time protesters, highlighting a shared feeling of regression in women's rights.
A lot of women are feeling like they are going back in time, so I feel like it's good to come out here and voice our concerns, and stand with all women, Ms. Yoo said.
Protesters expressed outrage at Mr. Trump's treatment of Ukraine's president, restrictions on transgender rights and what they see as the tearing apart of the nation's democracy.
