On Mar. 22, protesters gathered in front of Kalamazoo’s Social Security Administration office to protest President Trump’s views on Social Security. Protesters that joined the crowd were concerned that their benefits would be cut. Participants held signs, chanted and made noise with car horns to have their voices heard.
