Anti-Trump organizers are hosting "Free America" rallies on Independence Day in the latest round of mass protests in Salt Lake City and across the country.
The big picture: This renewed batch of protests against the administration comes amid growing discontent with Trump's policies.
- "Your freedom. Your people. Your rebellion," the Women's March website said.
Details: Locally, the demonstration is scheduled for 10am July 4 at the Utah Capitol.
The other side: "President Trump won nearly 80 million votes and received a historic mandate to Make America Great Again, and he's delivering in a big way," White House spokesperson Liz Huston said in a statement to Axios.
State of play: The Women's March encouraged protesters to plan rallies, marches, banner drops, street parades, art builds, BBQs, dance protests and block parties.
- About 200 events were scheduled as of Tuesday afternoon, signaling less interest than the recent "No Kings" protests. Those protests drew thousands of Utahns to the streets.
