The protest was part of the 50501 – 50 states, 50 protests, one day.
Hundreds gathered in front of the Florida Capitol to protest the Trump administration
A large crowd chanted on the grass along Monroe Street as he protested against the Trump administration and his policies.
Less than a month after President Donald Trump took office, but protesters found a lot to shout outside the Florida Capitol on Wednesday afternoon.
Hundreds of Floridians, mostly Talahasi residents, crowded together on the grass in front of the old Capitol to protest against the “Trump Administration’s hug of the 2025 project.” It was part of the 50501 – 50 states, 50 protests, one day.
People held signs that criticized Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and the founder of SpaceX, and what they said was his absorption of the federal workforce in America.
Other protesters advocated for LGBTQ rights and struggled with climate change. Others have blown up plans for Trump’s mass deportation.
“We have so many different colorful people living in Talahassi who are friends and need our protection against injustice. That’s why I’m here,” said the 80 -year -old Sally Sharling, who was going with his oxygen tank, holding a sign, a sign which protests US immigration and raids to apply customs and numbness of the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
“I like to see young people, but (there are) many gray heads (too) because we don’t have to be at work,” she said.
It was lunch, but nearly 300 people, old and young, chanted: “What should we do when we are under attack?
The freshman of the University of Florida Madeline Propst, the organizer of the event, said that the planning of the event felt as if it took 10 years of her life, but she still hoped.
“These many people are already fed,” she said, pointing to the crowd. “These many people are ready to invest the job. These many people are here at lunch on Wednesday. I am incredibly proud of my community.”
Virginia weeks and Velma Prector decided to protest not only for themselves but also for their children and grandchildren. “Our country is based on immigration, democracy, human rights, and we will let it go?” Prector told USA Today Network-Florida.
She heavily criticized Musk, a “special civil servant”, and the US Department of State (Dogi), a Musk government agency, created by an enforcement order to study federal infrastructure and costs to reduce costs in the federal government.
As reported earlier, Dodge was set up on the first day of Trump’s service and the president ordered the agency to be provided with “full and quick access to all non -classified records of the Agency, Software Systems and IT Systems”.
“As a business owner, we are responsible for maintaining our customer information,” Prector said. “We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to do, and Elon Musk enters and receives all this information and he has no authority to do so. It’s just a starting point. Where does it end?”
Weeks and Prector were encouraged by the strong shifts and cheers coming from traffic, but they said several drivers raised their hand in what looked like Nazi greetings.
“I am like, have you missed this part of history? This contradicts everything I have ever taught in a Christian school,” Prector said.
During the Trump Campaign for President, he tried to distance himself from the 2025 project, 900 pages of conservative policy, staff recommendations and a gaming book for a major overhaul of the government, written by the inheritance Foundation.
But after taking office, Trump has identified several people related to his 2025 forecasts at his incoming administration, including co -author Russell Vuch as his management office and budget nominee.
Propst, the organizer of the events, said he would be ready to protest in the next four years, but hoped Trump would be impeded until then.
“If I do not sleep in the next four years and none of my community is injured, then I will be glad,” she said.
Meanwhile, the Republican Party of Florida President Evan Power, who lives in Talahasi, was ignited by a demonstration on Wednesday.
“The American people were heard loudly and clearly on November 5th. It’s time to ignore the noise and make America again great!” he said.
