Demonstrations are taking place Saturday in 34 states to protest congressional redistricting efforts in Texas that have caused state House Democrats to flee the state to prevent the measure.

At parks, coffee shops, churches and government buildings around the country, hundreds of people are expected to gather today with a simple message: “Stop the Trump takeover.”

The event was part of a national day of action, "Fight the Trump Takover," in protest of the redrawing of congressional maps in Texas. Protestors gathered on the Union and Eastmoreland overpasses and held signs and banners with statements such as "Resist" and "Stop Trump Save Democracy."

Protests were planned around the state and country in response to GOP-led mid-decade redistricting efforts, according to the Fight the Trump Takeover website. At least 100 protests were planned across several states.

Republicans in Texas are poised to become the first in the nation to redraw their maps at the president’s behest.

A Texas district attorney could face a prison sentence for livestreaming herself smoking marijuana to protest a proposed ban on weed-associated products.
