Thousands of Americans went to the street on Saturday, April 19 in New York and other important cities in the country for a second day of anti-top mobilization in the two weeks space.
“No King in America” or “Resist Tyrannia” we can read in posters for the demonstration of New York, along with images of the US president with a mustache in the Hitler.
“Democracy has great danger,” said Kathy Valy, 73, to the AFP that a descendant of the Holocaust survivors, who said that what their parents told him about the emergence of Nazism in the 1930s “is happening here.”
“The difference with other fascists (…) is that Trump is too stupid to be effective and his team is divided,” he reassures.
“Immigrants are welcome”
The protesters particularly denounce the anti -immigration policy of the White House, when the Supreme Court suspended the expulsions of immigrants based on a law of 1798 on “foreign enemies.”
“Immigrants are welcome here,” shouts the protesters gathered in front of the largest city library of the United States, a stone shot of the famous Trump Tower of the billionaire.
The contestants also meet in front of the White House in Washington, although in a seemingly lower number than the previous mobilization on Saturday, April 5, which had gathered tens of thousands of people.
Meetings outside the Tesla dealers, the automotive brand owned by Elon Musk, the billionaire accused by Donald Trump of a drastic weight loss treatment in the public service have also been informed.
50501 movement
The mobilization is organized by a group called 50501, a figure corresponding to 50 demonstrations in the 50 states of the country and that leads to 1 unique movement of opposition to the Republican billionaire.
The movement constitutes “a rapid decentralized response to the antidemocratic and illegal acts of the Trump administration and its plutocratic allies,” he explains on his website.
According to this organization, some 400 demonstrations were scheduled during the day and 50501 called millions of people to take to the streets.
The real figures are difficult to obtain, many police services refused to provide estimates.
