♪ >> We did our first March as an organization which is really exciting.
And that's really just to show the entire Lake City of Frankfort marching down the streets.
It would also put in the time it just might be driving by that people care about our country and we wanted to be better and we want to protect our democracy.
And I'm really here because I want Congress to step up and there's been a a far overreach.
A grab for power.
Grab for money hour.
>> All of our major institutions have been dismantled.
We're current saying our politicians to stand up against a variety of the things are getting past specifically the executive orders and also really pressure the administration to listen to the people.
>> Part of our demands also is removal of President Trump and all of his appointees.
And that's again, just get us back to the state of our country where we are a democracy for the people and people are not acting.
As you can see, people mentioning women you can see mentioning Elon Musk and wanting his removal or immigration rights.
All of this broad spectrum of issues that people care about is reflected in this crowd.
And I think that is what's most powerful.
And that's really our goal for a non-partisan organization were not align with any specific political party.
This is for anyone who's upset with what's currently happening in our country.
And I think the signs reflect that.
A Democrat.
I'm not a Republican.
I'm an American.
And if we don't fight for rights, we're going to lose.
