SPRINGFIELD—On Saturday morning, demonstrators stand outside of the capitol building in Springfield during the People's March.
The People's March in Springfield was one of several nationwide marches Saturday, Jan. 18. Thousands had gone to Washington DC to participate in what was formerly known as the Women's March, which began in 2017. In addition to protesting Donald Trump's second presidency, the People’s March focused on several topics, including women’s and reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, immigration, and climate and democracy.
Demonstrator Marzipan said they chose to attend the protest because of issues surrounding health insurance, women's rights, the war in Palestine, and much more. "I have been scared about how it seems our nation is ignoring the way that history is repeating itself in terms of oppression, in terms of silencing minorities, and I'm also sick of seeing insurance companies and doctors denying my friends and family medications that they need to function," Marzipan said. They added that it was good to see others attend the protest. "I'm glad to see that there are people in this town who aren't just full of hate and are willing to show up to these things. I think there's more of us than we realize. I wish I could say I'm feeling hopeful, but I'm feeling motivated for people to get their heads out of the sand and realize how bad this is getting how quickly," Marzipan said.
