Hundreds gathered at the Virginia State Capitol on Wednesday to protest President Trump’s policies, calling for transparency, accountability, and the prioritization of human rights and equality. The protest was part of the “50 Protests, 50 States, 1 Day Movement” organized by a coalition of grassroots organizations partnering with Political Revolution.
Protestors expressed concerns about Project 2025 and the impact of President Trump’s executive orders on various communities. They demanded transparency, accountability, and equality, emphasizing the need for more regulation on what Trump can do.
A 16-year-old human rights activist highlighted the repeal of DEI policies, threats to the Department of Education, and increased deportations as critical issues that need addressing. The activist stressed the importance of continuing to make their voices heard and pushing for action to stop Trump’s policies.
While Governor Youngkin’s office did not provide a comment, protestors also made requests for Donald Trump to step down or be impeached, mass investigations into politicians appointed by Trump, and stronger laws on hate speech. They also called for the reinstatement of DEI frameworks and the rescindment of executive orders infringing on citizen and human rights.
The Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia defended Trump’s actions, emphasizing his mandate for revolutionary change. However, protestors remained steadfast in their calls for accountability and equality, determined to advocate for a more just and inclusive society.
