Since January 20, 2017, we have witnessed 100 days of Americans hitting the streets to practice their First Amendment Rights, rain or shine. Millions of Americans are making it clear that the term “giving up” is not a part of their vocabulary. To all the individuals negatively affected by any of Trump’s actions in the past 100 days, this article is for you. To all the protestors taking the streets, exuding hope and strength, this article is for you. And to everyone who thinks that these demonstrators are wasting their time, to those who choose indifference while so many suffer, this article is especially for you.
You see, this is the America that will be remembered when people look back at Donald Trump’s presidency, because the people marching in these photos are the very ones that will make America great again.
