#Protesters rally in #PortlandME, advocating for protection of rights amid Trump tensions
Story by Allyson Lapierre, WGME
PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "Making their voices be heard on a day of #revolution, a rally on Saturday pays tribute to the #250thAnniversary of the 'shot heard around the world,' a day that marks the start of the Revolutionary War.
" 'They’re taking away my Social Security and my #MaineCare away from me...which side are you on?' Olivia McDermott, who has #DownSyndrome, said.
"McDermott came to advocate for herself and others who have #disabilities who depend on #SocialSecurity and #Medicaid.
" 'I get really upset that this is happening to me and other people with #disabilities. They go to school like this, and I don’t want people to feel uncomfortable about it,' McDermott said.
"Olivia's mom, Maura Mcdermott, is a #SpecialEducationTeacher. She's worried the $Trump administration could take away those benefits.
" 'We need to not cut the services. We need to expand #MedicaidForAll people, and we need to #TaxTheRich. Enough of this,' Maura said.
"Other protestors voiced concerns about state politics, specifically about Maine senators.
" '#SusanCollins had better vote 'no, no, no' to the #SAVEAct because those are all voting rights, and we need voting for next election,' Nina McKee, a Scarborough resident, said.
"Despite the anniversary of the #AmericanRevolution, protesters on Saturday said there's little to feel #patriotic about.
" 'I can’t even express the need for us to stand up against what is happening in our country. It is beyond consumption,' McKee said.
" 'There’s no good thing going on right now, so any change is for the better,' Duncan Potter, a Brunswick resident, said."

National Day of Action on May Day
Trump and his billionaire profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. This May Day we are fight back. Demand a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, prosperity over free market politics.

To Fight the #Trump / #Musk Purge, #FederalWorkers Hold Nationwide #DayOfAction to '#SaveOurServices'
#DemocracyNow, February 19, 2025
"Today federal workers nationwide are calling for support for a 'Save Our Services Day of Action' mobilizing nationwide in opposition to #Elon Musk’s efforts to dismantle government agencies through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or #DOGE. Workers plan to protest outside of #FederalBuildings and #TeslaDealerships to show support for the work of federal agencies. 'It’s not just about federal workers,' says Eric Blanc, author and assistant professor of labor studies at Rutgers University. 'If they take out the federal #unions, that’s our best block right now against Trump’s authoritarian power grab.' This comes as Musk has gained access to the sensitive information of millions of Americans, all the while laying off government workers en masse. The layoffs have affected the #FAA, #NIH, #IRS and more."
