Hundreds gathered at Capitol Square on Sunday to be a part of a nationwide Presidents’ Day protest organized by the 50501 Movement, continuing the opposition to President Donald Trump’s policies and the increasing political influence of billionaire Elon Musk.
Demonstrators held signs condemning Trump’s executive actions and Musk’s role in shaping government policy, with speakers calling for stronger resistance against authoritarianism and corporate overreach.
