The demonstration was one of many across the country, joining the national 50501 Movement, which promoted 50 protests in 50 states in one day.

Demonstrators gathered in cities across the U.S. on Wednesday to protest the Trump administration's early actions, decrying everything from the president's immigration crackdown to his rollback of transgender rights and a proposal to forcibly transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

The Capital Region protest was part of a wider network of similar marches taking place at all 50 state capitols.
