A protest is underway in downtown San Marcos with students and community members speaking up against President-elect Donald Trump.

Protesters walked through the streets of downtown chanting, "We reject the president-elect" and have now stopped at the steps of the Hays County Historic Courthouse.

Students and community members are holding signs with messages reading, "Love trumps hate" and "Make America love again," as others are taking turns speaking into a megaphone.

The protest began at 5:30 p.m. at the Tantra Coffee House in downtown San Marcos, according to Stacee Collins, assistant lifestyle editor of The University Star, Texas State University’s student newspaper.

Protesters then marched to the courthouse, where around 250 are sharing thoughts on the new president-elect, she said.

People are saying that although they know they cannot impeach Trump, they want to stand in solidarity and show those who feel vulnerable to a Trump presidency that they are not alone.

Trump supporters are also at the scene and are standing quietly in the back, holding signs and wearing "Make American Great Again" hats.

However, when people were marching to the courthouse, some Trump supporters yelled curse words at protesters.

San Marcos police are standing by the sidewalk around the perimeter courthouse observing the protest.

The protesters are speaking of planning a counter-protest at a planned white nationalist rally at the Capitol next Saturday.

This protest comes after a nine-hour protest held Thursday on the Texas State campus.
