Demonstrators carried handmade signs calling for the protection of democracy and denouncing Project 2025, a controversial conservative policy blueprint that critics warned could undermine civil rights and government independence. The crowd included students, community organizers, and local officials, unified by concerns over political extremism and voter suppression.
