Organizers call for 11 million people to march and rally in this weekend’s effort to ‘protect democracy’

Protesters poured into the streets of cities and towns across the United States again on Saturday, in the second wave of protests this month, as organizers seek to turn discontent with Donald Trump’s presidency into a mass movement that will eventually translate into action at the ballot box.

By early afternoon, large protests were under way in WashingtonNew York and Chicago, with images of crowds cascading across social networks showing additional demonstrations in Rhode IslandMarylandWisconsinTennesseeSouth CarolinaOhioKentuckyCalifornia and Pennsylvania, among others. Americans abroad also signaled their opposition to the Trump agenda in Dublin, Ireland, and other cities.

More than 400 rallies were planned, most loosely organized by the group 50501, which stands for 50 protests in 50 states, one movement.

There’s something therapeutic for us in the rest of the world too. Seeing you guys protesting and not agreeing with what is happening makes us proud of you and happy.

Keep it on, as a famous philosopher once said: "Apes together strong"
