Other speakers included labor and immigration rights activists, as well as Noah Purcell, Washington state solicitor general. He told the crowd that the state’s office of attorney general has filed 22 lawsuits over the last five months to block “Trump’s fascist policies,” including one just filed that opposes Trump’s mobilization of the National Guard against California protestors.

But he said that “the courts alone can’t save us. We need to show everyone that we are the majority. Trump is the extremist. We need to show that Trump is lying when he says we are an extremist group.”

The rally closed with a group of federal employees that included health and human service workers, veterans workers and postal workers, who led the crowd in their oath of office, in which each employee swears that they will “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

Then the crowd filed in an orderly fashion into Pine Street and began the walk to Seattle Center.
