US Anti War Protests: The war is still going on in the Middle East, which is getting bigger every day. In retaliation to the horrific attacks by America and Israel, Iran is also targeting Israel and the Gulf countries. The people of the country are also troubled by the ongoing war with Iran in America, hence lakhs of people have taken to the streets against President Donald Trump’s war policy, rising inflation and economic problems. In America, people are protesting heavily raising slogans in the name of ‘No Kings’.
In these demonstrations, people are seen raising slogans, holding placards and performing cultural programs. According to media reports, these demonstrations are going on across America. Demonstrations were held in both Republican and Democratic states. Huge marches were taken out in big cities while small groups gathered in small towns and rural areas. The protesters were expressing their views peacefully.
Demonstrations also in New York and San Francisco
Protesters started the march from midtown Manhattan in New York. They displayed banners protesting against immigration policy, the Trump administration and the Iran war. A large crowd also gathered at San Francisco’s Embarcadero Plaza. People marched to the Civic Center Plaza carrying American flags and banners on issues such as Ukraine and transgender rights.
Attacks on America will not be tolerated – Bruce Springsteen
Rock legend Bruce Springsteen performed at the massive rally in St. Paul, Minnesota. He described Minnesota as an example for the entire country. Springsteen paid tribute to Alex Pretty and Renee Good, who were killed by federal immigration agents. He said, ‘Your strength and commitment show that this is still America. Such attacks on American cities will not be tolerated.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz also criticized the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration actions. He said the people of Minnesota stood up for their neighbors when untrained goons were sent from the White House.
This is said to be the third wave of ‘No Kings’ protests. Before this, two big events had taken place in which lakhs of people participated. The demonstrations are taking place amid concerns over rising fuel prices and a slowing economy linked to the Iran war. About 50 Trump supporters got into a verbal altercation with protesters in West Palm Beach, Florida. Despite this, the protests remained peaceful at most places. These demonstrations show that rising tensions in the Middle East have now reached the streets of America. Questions on the policies of the Trump administration have now intensified on the domestic front as well.
