Over 7,000 people gathered outside of the Nevada State Capitol and Legislature on Saturday to protest lawmakers and the Trump Administration.
It was all a part of a nationwide protest called "Hands Off".
At least four local organizations helped gather people in Northern Nevada, and they say the planning took over two weeks.
We had the chance to speak with some organizers and protesters, who all came together for different reasons.
"It's about hands off; get your hands off our social security, out of our post office, out of Medicare, Medicaid, the VA hospitals - it is people saying we are done, and we want our representatives to buck up," said Kimberly Carden, a member of Indivisible Northern Nevada.
"If we work to re grow our middle class, we can solve all the problems that we have today and we should be together, working together - not working apart," said Darcie Smith.
"I think it is really awful what is happening with the violation of due process rights and the constitutional rights that immigrants have in our country, a lot of people don't realize that; so what the government is doing right now is inhumane and illegal," said Veronica Frenkel.
Others we spoke with say they came to protest for friends and family.
"I'm privileged enough to have insurance, I'm not transgender, I'm not gay, I am not going to take Social Security soon; but I have family members that I am standing up for," said Caty Burkett.
During the protest some cars drove by honking in support, while others waved signs and argued in opposition.
Over the last few months, we have seen multiple protests in Carson City, and many in attendance today believe these protests will continue.
Protesters lined the streets today for hours, and while we did see a number of people drive by in opposition, there was no formal counter protest.
