MASON CITY | More than 20 people carrying signs stating "Love Trumps Hate," "Black Lives Matter" and "Where's Canada's Wall?" gathered in Central Park late Friday afternoon.

"This is what Democracy looks like!" they chanted.

Those who were at the protest against President Donald Trump, organized by the community action group Where Do We Go From Here and the Fourth District Green Party Chapter, also carried signs in support of protecting the environment.

One sign stated, "I've Seen Better Cabinets at IKEA."

After walking around the sidewalks on the perimeter of the park, protesters lined up along Washington Avenue.

Some people shouted obscenities at the protesters from open windows of passing cars, while others honked their horns in support.

Teanna Corcoran of Mason City, who was holding a sign stating, "Girls Just Want to Have FUN-damental Rights." said Trump has been in office for less than a month but has already made so many changes she sees as harmful.

"It's not OK," she said.

Tahmyrah Lytle of Mason City, who had a megaphone and led the chants, said, "I've got 20 different things I'm angry about right now."
