“The photo shows thousands of people in New York protesting against US President Donald Trump in January 2026.”
What FACTLY found
The photo shows the ‘March For Our Lives’ rally held in March 2018 on Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC, in support of gun control following the February 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in which 17 people were killed. More than 200,000 people attended the rally. The photo does not show protests against US President Donald Trump in January 2026.
