COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Thousands of protesters gathered at the Ohio Statehouse Saturday afternoon in a nationwide protest against the Trump administration.

“I’m a United States Navy veteran and I put my I swore a sacred oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. And our Constitution is under threat right now,” protester Bill Tipton said.

The protest was the latest national crusade organized by 50501, symbolizing 50 protests, 50 states and one movement. The protests have been going on for several months, and organizers say they are working to fight executive overreach and uphold the Constitution.

People laid on their car horns in support as they drove past the roughly 4,000 protesters flooding the front of the Statehouse. Lead organizer of Columbus 50501, Madison Tracy, said there were even more protesters on April 5, which drew 6,000 for a “National Day of Action.”

“It’s not just about one party for us,” Tracy said. “It is about all political spectrums and just uniting everyone that is under one common goal and that’s going against the current Trump Administration.”

Columbus’ protest was one of just 52 across Ohio Saturday, and one of hundreds across the nation. Many people held signs, reading things like “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty” or “If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.”

Protesters said they are concerned the Trump administration is harming the structure of American government. Kami Bumpers, a graduating senior, marched for a better economy to get a job. Sandy Bolzenius said her military background encouraged participation in the protest, saying it was necessary to fight for democracy. Kujenga Ashe said other political leaders need to take action, fearing global conflict.

“A lot of news has happened this week, whether it be Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whether it’s Trump possibly being held in contempt of court, the FSU school shooting, there’s a lot of people out here that are fired up and are ready for change and are not seeing that change happening right now,” Tracy said.

NBC4 reached out to Gov. Mike DeWine’s office, but they were not able to offer comment on the protests.

Tracy said the next National Day of Action will focus on education and take place on May 1 from 4:30-7 p.m.
