Tens of thousands of demonstrators, alarmed at what they see as a dangerous assault on the environment by the Trump administration, poured into the streets here on Saturday to sound warnings both planetary and political about the Earth’s warming climate.
Starting at the foot of the Capitol, the protesters marched to the White House, surrounding the mansion while President Trump was inside on his 100th day in office. Once there, the demonstrators let out a collective roar, meant to symbolically drown out the voices of the administration’s climate change deniers.
This is the third huge protest against Trump within 100 days. The first one was the Women's march, the day after Trump took office. Then there was the Science march. And then there was the Climate march.
Interestingly, one of the photos from the Climate march showed a huge banner with the hashtag #TAXMARCH, which I guess will be the next big protest against Trump.
And that is a great thing. Because it means decent people are standing up against the disaster Trump is causing for the American people.
