While many New Mexicans will have traditional 4th of July celebrations with fireworks and cookouts, there will also be a number of protests around the state as citizens use the First Amendment rights. These are among many others taking place around the country on Independence Day. While each demonstration is based on a different issue, all are based on opposition to the policies of the Trump Administration.
