Sam Phillips decided it was not too soon to set an example for her 15-month-old son, who rolled alongside her in a stroller.
“It’s really important to both stand up for his future and to also show him that in our family, we stand up to bullies,” said Phillips, who attended an anti-Trump rally Saturday with her husband in downtown Los Angeles, a gathering that also was strongly critical of Elon Musk — the billionaire advisor President Trump tasked with slashing government spending.
The crowd easily numbered in the tens of thousands, starting with an afternoon kickoff in Pershing Square, followed by a march to City Hall and a sunset rally there that filled the street and adjacent Grand Park.
The demonstration was peaceful, colorful and creative, but there also was a palpable and diverse sense of outrage as participants cataloged a wide range of the Trump administration’s actions, including government downsizing, attacks on the rights of immigrants and transgender people, and tariffs that are roiling economies across the globe.
