Protesters Gathered At Not My President’s Day

Thousands of people all across the country, including some in Atlanta, are taking part in what they have dubbed "Not My President's Day" marches.

They are hoping their demonstrations on Monday will trigger an investigation into whether the President Donald Trump should be impeached.

Matthew Williams of the Democracy Spring Georgia is organizing Monday's march in the midtown Atlanta. The protesters plan to meet at the Arts Center MARTA Station at noon. They are planning to march six miles to Lenox Square in the Buckhead.

Williams said that, "it is not a matter of right verses left. It is right verses wrong, and what's happening is wrong."

The Atlanta event has the Facebook page called Impeach Now! Not My President's Day March. More than 600 people have committed to attend the event. However, at the start of the event, roughly half that number were in the attendance. It was unclear whether more demonstrators planned to join the march along the way or not.

Among the protesters who helped to organize the event was Ray Dafrico, an Atlanta resident who said that he has joined several protests since Trump's election.

A similar, smaller protest was held on Saturday in Atlanta. During the pro-Trump rally on the same day featuring a handful of armed, self-proclaimed militia members, supporters of President Trump said that any talk of impeaching the president is ridiculous.

Chris Hill, a Trump supporter said that, “I think that is a dangerous road to go down. After 25 days, there has been no impeachable offense. What I’m hearing is a bunch of rhetoric from the snowflakes in Congress.”
