It is Sunday, October the 19th.

Nearly 250 years ago, America's 13 original colonies declared independence from the British

monarchy and proclaimed, quote, governments are instituted among men deriving their just

powers from the consent of the governed. Yesterday, more than

seven million of the governed participated in more than 2,700 protests across all 50 states

to tell the government it did not have their consent, and that the United States, which threw

off the yoke of authoritarianism two and a half centuries ago, is not going back. According to the organizers of No Kings, about two million more people

attended yesterday's demonstrations compared to the first No Kings Day in June. They are the two

biggest single, or they are two of the biggest single day demonstrations mounted against

a sitting president in American history. Take a look at this aerial

people took part in the rally that began at the historic Boston Common, the oldest park in the

country, where George Washington, John Adams, and the General Marquita Lafayette celebrated the country's

independence hundreds of years ago. In Denver, more than 10,000 people gathered at the state

capital and marched in protest, according to the local media. It was a similar scene in cities

across the country, Austin, Atlanta, Miami, Indianapolis. And at the nation's capital, when the National Guard had been

deployed since August, organizers said that 200,000 people joined in the main rally at the

National Mall and in the march toward the Capitol. MSNBC spoke to one woman there about why it was

important for her to take part in yesterday's protest. I'm a first-generation American.

I am a veteran. I was in the military.

I check all the boxes. I'm a mom. I've got four kids.

And I follow Jesus, but I am a patriot.
