Protesters Rally at Palm Springs City Hall Over Executive Actions

Palm Springs City Hall became the focal point of political activism today as hundreds of protesters gathered to rally against President Trump’s latest executive orders.

The event, organized by Courageous Resistance of the Desert and Indivisible of the Desert, aimed to bring the community together, voice concerns, and push for change.

A Call for Visibility & Action

Protesters lined the sidewalk, holding signs and chanting messages that have been echoed in past demonstrations. "We will not go back," was a common refrain, emphasizing concerns about women’s reproductive rights and civil liberties.

One protester shared, “For my daughters and granddaughters, I protest and march for them. I always have, and I will continue to do so.”

The rally also served as a message to local and national leaders, urging them to take a stand. “We expect them to step up and fight,” an organizer stated.

A Strong Community Presence

For many, the gathering was about more than just politics—it was about solidarity and support. Local attendee Cree Rivera expressed her appreciation for the event, saying, “It means so much because we have to unite together. We’re a village.”

What’s Next?

While many attendees acknowledged uncertainty about immediate change, the goal was clear: to be heard, to be seen, and to remind leaders that democracy is not for sale.
