{mosads}The protesters were speaking out against Trump’s proposed 2018 budget, which would cut the Corporation for National and Community Service, including AmeriCorps, and funds for other similar programs.
The demonstrators even made their way to Capitol Hill to appeal to members of Congress who have the final say on Trump’s budget.
One reportedly yelled, “We’re coming to get you!” according to USA Today.
