Many Democratic leaders are calling the fight a "political emergency." But not everyone at the rally supports Gov. Gavin Newsom's proposal to counteract those efforts with a redistricting plan in California.
"I appreciate that we are getting feisty," said Joanna Gubman, a Bay Area voter. "I don't actually like the solution because I think it's important for all of us here in California to be standing up for a democratic system."
"We're here to be fair and have integrity," Gubman said.
"I don't think we need any changes because we have the fair, democratic, progressive representation that we already have—the officials we already voted for," said Adriana Martinez, an Oakland voter. "So we don't have to change the system anymore."
Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee, who was born and raised in Texas and served decades in Congress, said Trump's actions threaten democracy nationwide.
Lee's successor in Congress, U.S. Rep. Lateefah Simon, went further, accusing Trump of trying to manipulate the next election.
Local Democrats acknowledged they're not enthusiastic about Newsom's redistricting idea either, but some said they see it as necessary.
Former Oakland Councilmember Dan Kalb agreed.
Still, Gubman said she plans to stick to her principles.
Newsom's proposed redistricting plan would need voter approval in a November election. But Saturday's rally suggested he may have some convincing to do, even among registered Democrats.
