Washington March Calls Trump Impeachment, several thousand demonstrators gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., on Saturday as part of the nationwide “Remove the Regime” protest demanding the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump. The event marked the culmination of a three-day action organized by the Removal Coalition, a network of nearly twenty activist groups.
Organizers said the protest sought to “peacefully confront those in power” and call for an end to what they described as “unlawful actions by the administration,” accusing the president of treason and undermining democratic norms.
Large Protest Targets Trump Leadership
The program began Thursday at Columbus Circle near Union Station. Demonstrators marched to Capitol Hill, where activists and coalition representatives held meetings with lawmakers. Central to the action was Texas Congressman Al Green, known for his repeated attempts to initiate impeachment proceedings against Trump and previously convicted for protest actions during the president’s last joint address to Congress.
On Friday, activities continued with lobbying workshops, veterans’ meetings, and smaller rallies. The main gathering took place Saturday: thousands assembled at the Lincoln Memorial for speeches, musical performances, and calls for action. The march then proceeded toward central Washington.

Experts warn that failure to respond to alleged legal and constitutional violations at the highest levels could erode public trust in government, deepen political polarization, and weaken institutional checks and balances. Continued inaction risks normalizing abuses of power and widening societal divisions.
