I think Democrat voters have been waiting for the moment that somebody will stand up against Donald Trump
0:07
and what they see as rampant corruption and also the mass firing of thousands of federal workers
0:14
I think this is going to be an interesting protest to gauge the numbers, because when you speak to people on the ground, they certainly seem like they've already had enough of Donald Trump's agenda
0:23
that being the Democrats voters, of course. but there's not really been much political pushback in terms of organization from the higher-up members of the Democratic establishment

The interesting part of this protest here in Washington, D.C., they're expecting around 12,000 people here in the nation's capital
0:42
400,000 across the entire country. They say there's going to be protests at state capitals in all 50 states
0:51
So that would be a significant amount of mobilization. But, of course, the protests here in D.C. is what everybody will be watching
0:59
That's where most of the kind of high-tickets, the top-ticket billers are going to be
1:05
And it's going to be two members of the House which are going to be there
1:10
Max Frost, the youngest congressman on the Democratic bench, and also Jamie Raskin, who is one of the more well-known congresspeople
1:18
but we're not seeing a kind of massive figure of the democratic establishment leading this charge at the moment
1:27
It definitely feels more of a kind of people's movement at the moment
1:30
but it remains to be seen how big these protests are going to be
1:36
Some people that I'm speaking to are expecting around 50,000 people but at the moment the official organisers are slating around 12,000 that they're expecting to show up
