Pro-democracy activists and labor groups held hundreds of rallies and other events across the United States on Saturday (August 16) protesting against the Trump administration – specifically the push for Texas to redraw its congressional map in favor of Republicans. ⁣ ⁣ From California to New York, demonstrators campaigned against so-called ‘redistricting’ plans, calling the legislation undemocratic and designed to ‘rig’ elections. ⁣ ⁣ Meanwhile, protesters in Washington DC expressed anger at what they called Trump’s “fascist” takeover of the capital’s law enforcement, following the federalization of the city’s police and the deployment of the National Guard.⁣ ⁣ #trump #protest⁣
