The unthinkable has happened Donald Trump has won. Further, the Republicans have seized control of both chambers of congress. They are planning to unleash a storm of attacks against the most vulnerable in our society. This cannot stand. We need to stand as one and revive the solidarity in the old labor slogan, an injury to one, is an injury all. We need to build the fightback to Trump and the Right.
Within hours of Trump being elected, Socialist Alternative with Socialist Students and Movement for the 99% put out the call for mass protests across the country to unite against sexism and racism and to begin building the movement against Trump and the the billionaire class. In less than 24 hours nearly 40,000 people answered our call!
The numbers of people mostly young people who attended in each city is electrifying: New York City had 10,000 people; Philadelphia 6,000; Boston 10,000; Seattle 6,000; and Oakland 5,000. Our protests were a top story on newscasts across the country and internationally from CNN to The Guardian.
This is only the beginning.
Plans are underway for huge nationwide protests around Trumps inauguration on January 20th and 21st to send a clear message that we reject his right-wing agenda of bigotry and pro-corporate policies. We need to build a grassroots movement against threats to escalate mass deportations of immigrants and a clampdown on muslim communities, among other attacks. Socialist Alternative will be at the forefront of building these demonstrations and organizing broad community coalitions to stand united against bigotry and hate.

In a nation of 325 million, not a very impressive number.
40,000 in several cities is far from a mass protest.
They’re only against Trump but they can’t tell people their vision.
Socialism is not a word that evokes warm and fuzzy feelings among most Americans.
no
Didn’t “old labor” actually have jobs?
The Democrat Thug Party.
His Moveon.org and Socialist Alternative/Socialist Advantage and RCP are well funded by Soros.
Isn't it time to take out the trash, Donald?
>>> If they had worked as hard before the election in legitimate activities, Hillary might have won......
You dare to imply that they should work? LOL
I doubt it’s 40 K. Because the reports a few hundred people here a few hundred people there, it’s not thousands of people in a few cities.. no way.
“Why isn’t the media (including our side) reporting this?”
They should be...and I would like to know why isn’t the FBI INVESTIGATING this??? (Another item for President Trump’s “to do” list following inauguration;)
>> Is that a fake sign?
To say you’re in disbelief of the depravity the Democrats are fomenting and harboring?
Deport them to North Korea as well.
Same as it ever was. With each new generation of useful idiots, socialism needs to be repackaged and marketed as something new and REVOLUTIONARY. A lot like those sleazy late night infomercials pushing the same old get-rich-quick scams as something new and innovative. Whether it’s buying real estate with no money down. Making a killing in stocks regardless of market conditions. Selling the latest snake oil while building a downline or some other unrealistic mathematically impossible MLM/pyramid racket. They’ll tell you other systems failed because they were implemented wrong by the wrong people but we have a PROVEN SYSTEM that works, trust us, THIS TIME IT’S DIFFERENT! And so many “activists” who think they have all the answers fall for this shiite every time. They have all the answers. Problem is, they don’t understand the questions
Whatever. Whine all you like, the adults are taking charge again... you’ll get used to it, one way or the other.
These people are in a cult

They don’t even really know WHY they are against Trump.
Well, DUH! Advertise for rent-a-rioter for $15 and of course you’ll get lots of response from snowflakes and thugs who don’t want to do real work!
No brainer.
Some of the signs I saw pictures of were from AnswerCoalition.org [(Act Now to Stop War & End Racism) is an anti-war and social justice coalition with organizing centers across the country.]
LOCK THEM UP
I need to harden up!
Running out of gas.
