Protests were called for across the country on Wednesday at each State's Capitol, including here in Nevada.
Posts were going around on social media asking people in all 50 states to gather.
The protest in Carson City wasn't locally organized, so you never actually know how many people are going to show up.
However, they came out in droves for this one.
Flyers were asking people to show up at noon in each state.
When arriving to Carson City around that time, maybe 20 to 30 people were there, but it quickly became hundreds as people filled both sides of South Carson Street.
Many people were holding signs, chanting and blasting music.
"I'm looking for the good guys and rooting for the good guys and right now I want to stand with people that believe that too," said Jeremy Cohen, protester. "I think we're on the wrong track."
This Capitol protest wasn't focused on one specific issue, but a potential federal funding freeze was a popular one.
"There are so many executive orders but if I had to choose one, defunding the federal government as a whole is a huge problem," Cohen said. "It's going to hurt people."
"I was hoping to provide free dental care to thousands of kids across Nevada but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that," said Lancette Vanguilder, protester.
Concerns with LGBTQ+ rights was another issue.
"The erasure of LGBTq+ is very important. We are getting rid of a specific part of our community, which is unnecessary," said Camille Lamotte, protester.
Immigration was also top of mind.
"They make us more rich as a country, and every time you see a Mexican flag waving there's an American flag right there with it because those people make our country great and need to recognize that," Lamotte said.
Despite people having their own motivations, some found it comforting to be all together.
"I think we've all felt pretty lonely and isolated whether you care about the environment, whether you care about immigration, or whether you care about transgender rights or me like public health," Vanguilder said. "I think we felt isolated and alone and scared and I think coming here makes us feel we're not alone."
Some really wanted to make sure to keep the peace.
"That is the main goal, we want our voices to be heard, but we don't want anyone getting hurt," Lamotte said.
"I'm just really proud of peaceful demonstrations like this," Vanguilder said.
We did not encounter any counter protests during the rally.
The Carson City Sheriff's Office later issued a press release describing an alleged incident where a driver pointed a gun at a protester.
