SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — People protested the recent actions by the Trump Administration across the country on Saturday including in San Francisco.
From the Bay Area to Texas to Washington D.C. and beyond, people gathered across the U.S. Saturday to protest the recent actions by the Trump Administration.
There were more than 200 rallies in 34 states dubbed “Fight the Trump Takeover.”
“I have to have a voice. I have to,” said Fred Fishman, a San Francisco resident.

Protesters are pushing back against President Trump’s mass deportations, and sending the national guard into cities like Los Angeles and Washington D.C.
“I want to at least make my my opinions and my feelings known. I feel like they’re taking our country away. We’re watching our country be destroyed right in front of us,” said Fishman.
“We’re going to keep coming out here and doing whatever we can. It’s better than sitting at home and being totally powerless,” said Shelly Sorenson from San Francisco.

San Francisco native Erica Sorenson said, “That’s my superpower, is to protest like this, that I’ve discovered. I’m not good on the phone. I’m not. You know, this is what I’ll do.”
Rallygoers also protested against Republican-led plans to redraw congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms to gain more republican seats.
“The purpose of this effort is to remind people to keep fighting this authoritarianism and seeking democracy, seeking democracy in their own communities, and seeking community with the whole nation,” said Oakland resident Sheelah Weaver.
“I’m 69, I’ve never seen anything like what’s going on. I’ve been through the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s. This takes the cake. I’ve never seen it this bad. They’re undoing everything we fought so hard for when we were growing up,” said Erica Sorenson of San Francisco.
