Northwestern PhD student Rohan Kota spoke to protesters in Evanston about healthcare access. I asked why it was important to have NU students at yesterday’s protest.

The protest — one of 2,500 nationwide — is over in Evanston.

As the protest comes to a close, attendees are told there is more work to be done when it comes to stopping the Trump Administration. Then “Down by the River” is sung.

Some of the signs at the protest

Today’s protest is part of a series of protests against the Trump Administration. That includes the first “No Kings” protest in June and the “Hands Off” protest in April.

Attendees are singing now.

A Northwestern student has taken the stage.

Attendees of today’s protest are of all ages. One stroller had a “No Kings” sign on it.

The protest is kicking off now.

A June poll, which came out before Evers' announcement, showed 55% of those surveyed did not want him to run for reelection. That includes 93% of Republicans, 50% of independents and 15% of Democrats.
