After Pocatello’s protest, around 500 people rallied in Idaho Falls in the late afternoon. KIVI reported that 300 people gathered in Twin Falls and Boise Weekly reported that around 1,500 people rallied in the state’s capital city.

“I want (people) to know that we need to stand up against oligarchy and dictatorship. It’s better to have a democracy where all people have a say and get to vote,” said Elmer Martinez, who organized Pocatello’s protest. “As this President is making a move to become a dictator, we’re going to lose that. We’re going to have power concentrated in the hands of a few and that is not healthy.”
