CNN is on the ground at several of the “No Kings” demonstrations that are being held across all 50 states today in opposition to President Donald Trump.

The protests have been a venue for all-encompassing outrage at the Trump administration. But gauging unofficially by the chants, signs and our conversations with attendees, some key themes stand out above the rest.

Many protesters have focused on Trump’s immigration raids and deployment of troops to US cities, perceived threats to democracy, opposition to billionaires, and cuts to federal programs — particularly health care.

Here’s why some attendees told CNN they joined the protests:

Atlanta: Joan Press, an attendee in her 50s who came to the rally with her husband, told CNN she was driven to attend by what she described at Trump’s threats to abortion rights, health care access and social security. “We are not going to be silenced,” she told CNN.

Chicago: Danielle Guinto, a mother of two, cited the war in Gaza, health care policy, immigration raids and tax cuts for billionaires among the reasons she was attending the demonstration. She said she wanted to tell her kids she was “part of this side of history.” Actor John Cusack also spoke to CNN, saying he was there to fight for labor rights and to resist Trump’s deployment of troops to US cities.

New York City: One New York attendee told CNN she’s been protesting since the 1960s and that now, “our entire democracy is being threatened” under Trump. Other attendees noted the strong presence of women in the crowd at the NYC protests. “There’s a very feminine energy,” a protester told CNN.

Washington, DC: Lee Ayres, who dressed in Revolutionary War-era clothing and a wig, told CNN that they “want all of America to realize the Declaration of Independence is about no kings.” Bobbie Castillo traveled miles from her hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, to attend the demonstration — her first ever protest. Her fiancé, Michael Langfeldt, told CNN they are protesting the “hatred” shown toward immigrants and the administration’s deployment of the military to US cities.

The White House’s (brief) response: Reached by CNN for comment on today’s protests, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson wrote back: “Who cares?”
