New Yorkers came out by the thousands Monday afternoon to make their voices heard.

The crowd marched from Union Square to Washington Square Park, many chanting, “Stop the coup!”

“My anxiety is so high, with all the lies and all that is going on,” said Cary Andrews. “And I needed to be able to express myself and to be in community with people that are concerned about our democracy.”

“I wanted to make sure that I was contributing not just complaining but taking action against this type of coup,” said Robyn Ross, a resident of the Upper West Side.

The demonstrators were speaking out they say not only on the actions of President Donald Trump but the actions of the head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk, as well.

“Since the inauguration and since the richest man in the world has decided that he runs this government, I’ve been wondering why is nobody doing anything?” asked Hannah, a Brooklyn resident who preferred to only use their first name.

“I’m horrified by our president giving a complete unelected billionaire power over our economy and our federal workers who’ve committed themselves in a nonpartisan fashion,” said Eva Kolodner.

“I sure wish that the people who voted for Trump would wake up,” said Jean Sweet. “They’re going to be victims of his and Musk’s too.”

They say Trump and Musk’s actions are a mix of unethical and flat out illegal — and they say it’s time the people stood up.

“It is so important to show that as citizens of the United States of America that we are not standing with this presidency and we do not believe that Elon Musk, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump are our leaders,” Kolodner said. “This country has no room for kings.”

“Going in and trying to get peoples’ personal information, the whole DOGE thing, [Musk] is not elected,” said Cary Andrews. “He has his cadre of these boys, these youngsters that are following him around. It’s just outrageous the way they’re going after the government agencies.”

But despite the anger, some still have hope.

“I know this country is strong, the people are good,” said Aaron Mayerson of Brooklyn. “And together we will overcome this constitutional crisis that we’re in right now.”
