WORT 89.9FM Madison · Thousands Throng Madison Capitol for Anti-Trump Protest

On Saturday, April 5, an estimated 3 million people took to the streets across the United States to protest the policies of the second administration of President Donald Trump. Rallies occurred in all 50 states, in over 1,400 locations. Here in Madison, as many as 10,000 people – some from as far away as the Michigan Upper Peninsula – thronged Capitol Square and flooded State Street. Monday Buzz host Brian Standing joined the crowd to find out what was on their minds.
