"Free America" protests against President Donald Trump and his policies are taking place across the country over the Fourth of July weekend, ranging from backyard barbecues to large rallies.
"We want for folks to be celebrating not the America that we have, but a vision that we could have for what it would look like for America truly be free," Tamika Middleton, managing director of Women's March, told Newsweek.
The Context
Women's March, which launched in the wake of Trump's 2016 election victory, is behind "Free America Weekend." The group is urging Americans to join or host events in their communities to protest the Trump administration's policies and actions.
The events are the latest nationwide protests against the Trump administration, including "No Kings" protests on June 14, when millions rallied in cities across the country while a military parade rolled through Washington, D.C., to celebrate the Army's 250th anniversary, coinciding with Trump's 79th birthday.
