Protesters demanding a "budget for the people" stormed the offices of the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.
The Twitter account "People's Action" tweeted out videos of protesters entering the building and chanting "shut it down!"
The protesters stated their opposition to priorities in President Trump's budget, which they said "will hurt our communities," and they railed against Heritage as being Trump's think tank.

The group said a "pro-corporate agenda" is "killing us all."

Some inside the Heritage Foundation building countered the demonstrators with a protest of their own, holding "Repeal Obamacare" signs at the windows for those outside to see.
