SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2017 - NATIONAL MALL @ LINCOLN MEMORIAL - WASHINGTON, D.C. 12:00 p.m.
Juggalo March on Washington
Saturday, September 16, 2017
This is the day that we are asking every single Juggalo to join us in our nations capital, Washington, D.C., to make a collective statement from the Juggalo Family to the world about what we are and what we are not. Recently Psychopathic Records court case in our lawsuit against the F.B.I. and Department of Justice for listing Juggalos as a loosely organized hybrid gang in their 2011 Gang Task Force report was once again dismissed, meaning we are back to square one from a legal standpoint. We have tried to use the American judicial system to achieve justice and we failed.
So on Saturday, September 16, 2017, we are taking out fight to the streets. Literally.
As many of you are no doubt personally aware, the FBIs inclusion of Juggalos as a gang has resulted in hundreds if not thousands of people subjected to various forms of discrimination, harassment, and profiling simply for identifying as a Juggalo. Over the past five years, our legal team has heard testimonies and reports from Juggalos all over the nation who have lost custody of their children, been fired from jobs, denied access into the armed forces, and the most common consequence being officially labeled as a gang member by law enforcement agencies for wearing Juggalo related clothing or brandishing one or more Juggalo tattoos. A simple traffic stop for a broken tail light can and has resulted in an otherwise law-abiding, hard-working, taxpaying citizen being put on a local or state list of gang members simply for displaying their Juggalo pride. Being labeled a gang member can be a permanent stain on an individuals life, since it will come up in a simple background check every single time. Whether that person is applying for a job, trying to adopt a child, join the armed forces, or attempting to acquire housing their name may pop up as being gang-affiliated, even if that person has never been charged with any kind of crime.

This is the day we not only march on our nations capital, but we will also be throwing a FREE concert to further display the collective power of the Juggalo Family. We will be personally inviting all of the bands and performers who have over the years professed to support Juggalos and asking them to join us in making our stand. One key reason we are planning this march and concert more than a year in advance is so no musician or group can say they didnt know about it/didnt get invited/or had a scheduling conflict. With more than a years notice, these musical acts have plenty of time to save the date and perform in support of the Juggalo Family in Washington, D.C. And Psychopathic Records will be personally Yes, PERSONALLY inviting every single band to attend. So if you get to the concert that night and are wondering why this band or that band isnt performing on the lineup you will have to ask them why. At this point, its time for everyone to put up or shut up. You say youre a recording artist who supports the Juggalo Familys fight against discrimination? Then be there. Live. In person. In D.C. along with thousands of Juggalos standing up for their civil rights and the rights of others who have been oppressed or discriminated by reckless law enforcement agencies.

That is the date that the Juggalo Family must truly shine and show America and the world that we are not a gang, public menace, cult, or any of the other untrue labels they have attempted to slap on us throughout the years. We must collectively show them that we truly are a family that is united by a shared love of music and fellowship. We help and support each other like no other so-called fanbase ever has in the history of popular culture. We give each other food or water if someone is hungry or thirsty. We lend emotional support to each other in times of sorrow or struggle and we celebrate with each other in times of triumph. We may be the outsiders, the misfits, the weirdos, and the underdogs of the mainstream world, but as a result we have created our own world one built on a rock-solid foundation of community, creativity, joy, and love.

That is the date we need YOU in Washington, D.C. We need you and your voice to make sure that we shout above the chaos of this noisy world and are heard loudly and clearly as we deliver a message right into the nerve center of America that the Juggalo Family is not a joke, punchline, or any form of criminal organization. This is our chance to make a difference. A real difference. To show the world that we will we not tolerate anymore discrimination against our Juggalo brothers and sisters. If being a Juggalo has made a difference in your life, we beseech you to be a part of the important critical day in Juggalo history.

That is the day we rise up.
That is the day we unite to clear our name.
That is the day we march.
Please be there.
The "ICP" rally is taking place on the mall at the same time a major Trump rally will be taking place - Trump fans and Juggalos will share National Mall in DC on Sept. 16
This should be interesting.
homicidal psychotic drug cult may be more accurate than “gang”.
The rampage killings are something some in their community have cheered in social media while they were being pursued.
I would consider them a “gang” as in “pack of inbred physically/mentally impaired mutts hunting down stray garbage cans.”
And the release of the new Stephen King “IT” is just a coincidence.........................
I know a couple whose daughter almost married a Juggalo. They said if she had they were going to disown her. Thankfully she saw the error of her ways and married a bikealo.
What the heck are Juggalos?
A word to describe these folks? Ah yes, “cretins” will work nicely.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggalo
A juggalo (feminine juggalette, or juggala in Spanish) is a fan of the group Insane Clown Posse or any other Psychopathic Records hip hop group. Juggalos have developed their own idioms, slang, and characteristics.[1] The Gathering of the Juggalos,[2] alternatively known as just “The Gathering”, is a notable annual festival held by juggalos and the artists that they support, which have included rap stars such as Busta Rhymes, Ice Cube, and MC Hammer; over its first eleven events, the festival had an average attendance of about 10,000 fans, with a peak of 20,000 in 2010
Juggalo gangs
Main article: Juggalos (gang)
Although the Juggalo subculture stems from the horrorcore subgenre of the general hip hop music fandom, criminal and gang-related activity has been attributed to self-described ‘Juggalos’ in recent years, including assaults,[19][20][21] drug trafficking,[19][20] vandalism,[19] burglary,[20] shootings,[20] theft,[19][20] robbery,[20] and numerous murders.[19][22][23][24]
Interaction between violent and nonviolent Juggalos
According to a 2011 National Gang Intelligence Center report, the Juggalo subculture is split between violent and nonviolent factions. Some members of the Juggalos street gang even look down on non-criminal Juggalos, considering them to be weak,[19] and criminal Juggalo gangs have committed attacks on non-gang-related Juggalos.[25] Both Juggalo gang affiliates and nonviolent Juggalos believe in the Juggalo “family”, however, some nonviolent Juggalos do not believe that any gang related activity should be associated with the Juggalo lifestyle.[19]
Public and artist reactions
The Insane Clown Posse filed a lawsuit against the FBI about the gang-listing.[26] In December 2012, ICP agreed to withdraw their involvement as plaintiffs.[27]
Psychopathic Records launched the website juggalosfightback.com for fans to submit stories about unfair treatment by law enforcement. ICP hopes to use these stories in their legal battle to declassify Juggalos as a gang.[28]
The classification of Juggalos as a criminal gang was ridiculed by the technology magazine Wired in a November 2011 article, with journalist Spencer Ackerman referring to previous scandals involving FBI harassment of Muslim-Americans.[29]
On January 8, 2014, Insane Clown Posse along with the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan filed suit again against the FBI. The suit aims to have Juggalos no longer considered to be a gang and to have any “criminal intelligence information” about Juggalos destroyed.[30]
They are a cult like fan base of the white rap group Insane Clown Posse. They wear clown make up to hide thier identity. They have participated in some of the riots recently, although it seems they are hated by both sides.
So a march on Washington to protest Obama’s FBI. Got it.
They look like a modern “Grateful Dead” group.
Only they are fans of a horror genre instead of a bunch of hippies.
Angry Hippies with weapons?
FAR FROM IT SON, The Grateful Dead has NOTHING in common with this group, but then I doubt if You were even around then, and your comment ‘a bunch of hippies’ proves it. SECONDLY, even though I do not agree with them, I DO NOT SEE ANY WAEPONS, What a Maroon.
Looks like I stuck a nerve.
Thanks for the update, Pops.
I stand corrected.
