In big cities and small towns across the world, protesters gathered for rallies against President Trump and his policies and actions, with the self-stated goal of fighting dictatorship.

Demonstrators, including elected officials and community leaders, chanted defiant messages and carried homemade signs that condemned the war in Iran, threats against voting rights and the White House’s mass deportation push, among other topics.

Protesters marched down small town main streets and thoroughfares, many bundled up to withstand hours spent in temperatures that ranged between the 30s and 40s. Attendees at small gatherings, including one in Richmond, Ky., waved American flags as drivers signaled their support by honking. In Atlanta, protesters chanted for an end to immigration raids.
