‘We intend to defend our democracy,’ says protest organizer

Season 2025 Episode 291 | 6m 46s

Millions turned out across the country Saturday for a coordinated day of protest against Trump and his administration’s policies. A similar event in June brought out more than 5 million demonstrators, but organizers say the mobilization was even bigger this time. Ali Rogin speaks with Robert Weissman, co-president of the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, for more on the protests.
