Miami Beach Pride Parade and Nationwide Protests

The Miami Beach Pride parade attracted thousands of attendees, celebrating LGBTQ+ culture with colorful floats and unity, amidst expectations of surpassing last year's attendance of 180,000. Meanwhile, 'Hands Off!' rallies occurred nationwide, protesting various policies from the Trump administration, including in Willmar, Minnesota where attendees criticized Representative Michelle Fischbach's absence from town halls. In Salt Lake City, the protest coincided with the Latter-day Saints' general conference, causing significant traffic due to overlapping events. Across the country, these demonstrations were part of a larger movement involving 1,300 protests organized by a coalition of 202 advocacy groups. In Pasadena, Jane Goodall, celebrating her 91st birthday, inspired audiences by sharing her life's work with animals, marking a fitting start to Earth Month. Additionally, Los Angeles hosted various cultural events including the NCAA Women's Final Four and an AI-themed art installation.
