While protests against President Donald Trump's administration have
drawn thousands of people to major cities across the country, not to be
overlooked are rallies in smaller cities, many taking place in states
that supported Trump in the election.
Hundreds in Kalamazoo, Michigan, chanted "Say it
loud and say it clear, refugees are welcome here!" during a protest
supporting refugee and immigrant rights on Sunday.
Michigan voted for Trump by a little more than 10,000 votes. Kalamazoo County was one of eight counties that favored Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton.
"I was disappointed when Michigan voted for
Trump," said Kari Parthasarathy, who marched in the Kalamazoo protest
with her 3-year old daughter. "But sometimes it's not the majority vote
on how people get elected, and my guess is that some of these people
that voted red don't agree with what's happening now."
