Presidents are at the center of Monday’s demonstrations as activists gather in Washington, D.C., to protest executive overreach. With major rallies planned near the Capitol and White House, the city is preparing for road closures, security measures, and potential disruptions.
Presidents’ Day Protest Locations and Goals
Demonstrators will assemble in two key locations:
Capitol Reflecting Pool (Union Square) – The main protest site, where participants will gather at noon to voice their concerns.
Lafayette Park (White House) – Another major hub, with protests beginning at 11 a.m. and continuing throughout the day.
The movement’s primary objectives include:
- Defending constitutional rights.
- Opposing executive overreach.
- Resisting Project 2025 policies.
- Condemning actions viewed as racist or authoritarian.

Buses from New York City, Newark, and other areas have been arranged by activist groups like the NAACP to ensure widespread participation. Even the National Park Service has issued permits for various demonstrations, including one on Independence Avenue to raise awareness about postal service issues.
