"Do not engage," a person said over the microphone to attendees at the state Capitol rally in Lansing. "That's what they want. Security! Security!"

In bitter cold, hundreds of people had gathered at the Capitol's eastern entrance by noon, and protestors continued to stream in.

Organizers say they hope to see hundreds of protestors on Michigan's capital lawn on Wednesday as part of a nationwide effort born on social media just over the last week to speak out en masse against the Trump administration.
