In Mobile, roughly 100 people gathered and marched through Downtown Mobile.
'I've seen this movie before and I don't want a sequel,' protestor, Lindsay Windham said.
After almost a month of President Trump being back in office thousands of Americans have lost their jobs as USAID is being dismantled.

Bryan Fuenmayor helped organize the rally on Monday. He said he has seen his friends impacted by the Trump administration in the LGBTQ community.
Fuenmayor also immigrated to America and is worried about potential discrimination.
'I am an immigrant and a U.S. citizen, I'm hopeful it does not become an attack on all immigrants,' Fuenmayor said.
Protestors also raised concerns about Elon Musk and Trumps collaboration calling it a 'Malicious Mayhem.' They said they are worried about Musk joining the Department of Government Efficiency considering his lack of Government experience.
'This is a CEO in charge of government, that's not what the government is for,' Windham said. 'It's not to make a profit it's to serve the people.'
