DC Presidents Day protests underway in response to Trump's declaration of national emergency
Activists are gathering in D.C. this Presidents Day to show their disagreement with President Donald Trump’s decision to declare a national emergency along the southern border.
MoveOn is mobilizing activists Monday to “defend our democracy and immigrant, Muslim, black and brown communities from Trump’s dangerous national emergency power grab,” according to its website.
The protests are part of a national movement. Locally, there are rallies planned in D.C. at Lafayette Square in front of the White House and in Maryland at the Whole Foods in Columbia and at Courthouse Square in Rockville. - Washington's Top News
