YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA rally — led by Democratic lawmakers and non-profit workers — broke out in Washington, D.C. Wednesday in response to the Trump administration's decision to furlough nearly all employees at the United States Agency for International Development.
This week, the USAID website announced all personnel "will be placed on administrative leave globally" with exception to those working in "mission-critical functions" — though the distinction remains unclear. This directive comes after tech billionaire and special government employee Elon Musk said he is in the process of "shutting down USAID" with the blessing of President Donald Trump.
The hundreds that gathered at the Upper Senate Park — along Constitution and Delaware Avenues NE — chanted "Elon Musk has got to go" and held signs that said "USAID SAVES LIVES!!!"
