care. This is what democracy looks like.

I'm a champion. People united will never be defeated. Estamos en la lucha. Trump es mucha. Estamos en la lucha. We're fighting for Israel's square. Charlotte, Charlotte, pick us back.
Charlotte, Charlotte, pick us back.
Down with deportation. Up, up with liberation. Up, up with liberation. Free Palestine. Free free free Street to the last essential services all while orchestrating a massive giveaway to billionaires and enough is enough. For anyone who thinks they've gone too far, this movement is for you. Now before we get too far ahead of this, I want to remind you that showing up is just the first part.
I am glad to Oh, Okay. Oh yeah, we shut down the fair now. Hey honey. Hi, bud. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Oh yeah, we sat down to the dance floor. We don't continue the inside action. The program, when you make the TAP PSA, attach a voter registration card to it, then an application
and then a voter universal. Then send it to all your friends in a chain letter.
Gentlemen, send three... Whose streets? Our streets!
Whose streets?
Our streets! Whose streets? Our streets. Whose streets are streets? Whose streets are streets? What's the answer? What's the answer? Right. I like it.

Go, white, go, white! Go, go, go! Go, go, go! Go, go, go! Go, go, go! Go, go, ho, ho. Donald Trump has got to go.
Hey, hey, ho, ho. Donald Trump has got to go. Hey, hey, ho, ho. Donald Trump has got to go.
He's got to go. I'm protesting a president who is claiming to be a king and is doing everything he can,
it seems to me, to become a king.
I'm a veteran of the free speech movement in Berkeley in the 60s. We fought for women's rights, civil rights, and we're out here fighting for democracy again. We are protesting authoritarianism. Can we come back to do it? Raise your hand if you believe in the power of the people. When
I say people, you say people.
There is no radical left. There is no organized Antifa terrorist group. This is not an anti-American protest. There are no paid foreign agitators. This is political opposition. This is political opposition to a fascist who is in power. This is an American protest against an American president who falsely believes he is the only one who gets to make choices.
Trump is a wannabe dictator, a fascist. If opposing Trump is Antifa, then I am Antifa. You are Antifa. We are Antifa.
Because we are anti-fascist and anti-Trump. It does not matter who the president is.
I have a megaphone. Three letters from America. One. Long day in Atlanta, working for democracy. First, I volunteered at the voter registration booth in Candler Park. Last day to register for the November 4 election is
October 6. Then joined a candlelight vigil with the theme, Unite in Light, Democracy Dies in darkness. Two, I try not to listen anymore to what's going on politically here. I hope we can survive the next years of Trump's presidency. It discourages me so much. I don't know what you can tell the people over in Germany. There is not much good news. Three, I wish somehow every single Trump voter
lived under his rules and policies and endured the subsequent conditions and everybody else lived the old way. That should make both sides happy and seems fair. From Tucson, Arizona.
Today organizers say at least 7 million Americans took to the streets protesting what many called an abuse of power by President Trump. House Speaker Mike Johnson called it, quote, the hate America rally. Here in New York City, police say 100,000 people turned out at multiple marches. They report no arrests. There were more than 2600
events from coast to coast. They are all part of the no kings movement, which accuses the president of behaving more like a monarch than an elected official. CBS is Elise Preston in Los Angeles leads us off tonight. Elise Dorica. Thousands have turned up here in downtown Los Angeles to express their fear and frustration with the administration. Their message, no monarchs in America.
I want to be able to tell my future children that I was here, that I stood on the right side of
history. The nationwide rallies are in response to what organizers call an abuse of power by President Trump, including his administration's crackdown on immigration and its threat to send the National Guard into cities, including Chicago and Portland.
The message is no kings. The message is the Constitution of the United States is a wonderful document that matters.
Republicans said the protests were nothing more
than hate America rallies.
I'm Torian Small in Washington, D. C. Before leaving the hill this week, House Speaker Mike Johnson framed this rally as a hate America event. Attendees
disagree. We love America. We hate what they're trying to do to America.
Today's rally is taking place in big cities and small towns in every state. I'm Ali Bauman in Morristown, New Jersey. Thousands attended today's rally 16 miles away from the president's New Jersey golf course. This county has deep roots in the nation's founding, known as the military capital of the American Revolution. Our forefathers fought off kings and said no kings for the first time. So it's it is full circle. Judy Kelly is one of the local organizers to defend democracy on this
land. It does mean a lot to all of us who are working on it. In Frisco,
texas, the protest was small but vocal. I believe in democracy. I fought for democracy and sacrifice and the things that are being done right now in this
government are totally ridiculous. In Europe, protesters were also small in numbers but passionate
outside the US Embassy in London in Paris and Berlin. Being here in Germany especially considering the history that's here, we have a unique perspective
to look and say that's not okay. Ahead of today's protests, the governors of Virginia and Texas brought in the National Guard to handle any potential unrest in their state. Jericho. Those protests have been largely peaceful. Same scene here in Los Angeles. All right, Elise Preston reporting from Los Angeles tonight. Angeles. All right, Elise Preston reporting from Los Angeles tonight.
Thank you.
