Demonstrators gathered outside the Florida Capitol building in Tallahassee this weekend to decry some of the Trump administration’s latest actions. The rally was one of the many “No Kings” protests happening across the country.
Tallahassee resident, David Fabus says he’s worried about foreign policy, the immigration crackdown, access to healthcare and how it all might impact his 19-year-old daughter.
"I'm too old to be concerned about myself, but it's our kids that we have to be worried about," Fabus says.
He says he feels heartened by the size of the turnout at the weekend's event.
“I hope these rallies continue and they keep getting bigger and bigger," Fabus says. "They always said we need 3.5% of the population for these rallies to really mean something, and I think today we probably have it.”
No Kings organizers estimate more than 7 million people participated in protests across the country over the weekend.
Fabus says he believes in the power of protesting. He says he participated in protests against the Vietnam War and thinks they were effective in bringing an earlier end to the conflict.
