Jen Erickson of Jupiter criticizes President Donald Trump, his Cabinet picks Jeff Sessions and Betsy DeVos and White House adviser Steve Bannon and praises fired Acting Attorney General Sally Yates in a single sign aimed at drivers on PGA Boulevard.

PALM BEACH GARDENS Aspiring to be the liberal answer to the tea party movement, dozens of demonstrators showed up outside Sen. Marco Rubios office this morning to protest President Donald Trumps Cabinet picks and his executive order halting travel from seven nations.

Robb Allan of Palm Beach, left, helped organize todays demonstration and said hes hoping to be part of the left-wing tea party in opposition to President Donald Trump.

About 60 people were waving signs along PGA Boulevard at 10:30 a.m. Some of them met with a Rubio staffer to express their concerns.

Their signs targeted at least six of Trumps Cabinet nominees, White House senior adviser Steve Bannon and Trumps executive order halting refugee admissions to the U.S. and visits from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

Robb Allan, an investor from Palm Beach, helped organize the event as part of a group called Indivisibles. Amanda Kopacz of Boynton Beach also helped organize through a group called Florida Action Network, which she said recently changed its name from Rise Up because other groups were already using that name.

This demonstrator asks Sen. Marco Rubio to vote against six of President Donald Trumps Cabinet nominees.

Both described this mornings demonstration as part of a national effort put together by MoveOn.org and other groups.

These groups are starting everywhere spontaneously and were all just beginning to discover each other and participate, said Allan.

All of this for us is an outgrowth of a handbook that was written by a group of congressional staffers right after the election about how to be the left-wing tea party, Allan said.
