Protesters line Sacramento freeway overpasses to oppose Trump economic policies
Dozens of protesters flocked to Sacramento overpasses Saturday to voice their opposition to the Trump administration’s economic policies.
Demonstrators with various chapters of Indivisible, a left-leaning advocacy organization that has sponsored numerous anti-Trump protests, lined overpasses crossing Interstate 5 up and down the West Coast, organizers said. Indivisible was one of the groups that organized the sizable “No Kings” marches that swept the country in June including in California’s capital city.
This Labor Day weekend effort, dubbed “We are OVER it,” is primarily focused on economic issues like tariffs and taxes, but some demonstrators also waved signs protesting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s heightened enforcement actions. Others echoed the “No Kings” messaging of the June demonstrations.
In Sacramento, protesters waved and dangled banners on two overpasses in South Land Park, representing the Sacramento, Yolo and Davis chapters of Indivisible.
The demonstrations are meant to call attention to Trump administration economic policies that favor the ultra-wealthy at the expense of working people, demonstrators said.
“We are out here because we are disgusted and disappointed,” Vicky Michener, a member of Indivisible Yolo County, said. “We are out here in opposition to damaging economic policies.”
“Right now we have a government of the wealthy for the wealthy,” Michener said.
Demonstrators hope that others will see them taking a stand and do the same.
“We want to encourage more people to stand up for themselves,” Ron King, of Indivisible Yolo County, said. “That’s what it’s going to take to turn the tide.”
