4/8: Thousands of protesters gathered and marched in downtown San José in a nationwide movement to criticize President Donald J. Trump’s administration actions as president. The protesters gathered on Saturday at noon at St. James Park, a little over half a mile away from the San José State downtown campus. The protesters marched in a circle from the park and back after passing San José City Hall. Ariel Ranker, an organizer for #50501, said her group counted that around 5,000 protesters came to the protest. “It's amazing to see this much solidarity from people in every single state,” Ranker said. “Even (in) red states, even (in) swing states, people are coming out to voice their opinions.” #50501, which stands for 50 protests in 50 states for one movement, is a national grassroots movement and is a decentralized rapid response to “anti-democratic and illegal actions of the Trump administration” and his allies, according to its website. The movement received traction in the community r/50501 on Reddit and spread rapidly through social media, according to the same website. Ranker said she is worried about abortion rights and people being arrested without due process, but her biggest concern is that the government is violating people’s Constitutional rights. “This is America and this is a country where everyone is supposed to be welcome, and we do not want our citizens living in fear because nobody deserves that,” she said. “I want our country back -honestly to at least where it was before- and so that we can start working towards a better future.”
