A week of protests ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration as U.S. president is set to kick off on Saturday with a civil rights march in Washington by activists angry over the Republican's comments on minority groups including Muslims and Mexicans.
Civil rights leader the Reverend Al Sharpton plans to lead a march along the National Mall ending at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, about two miles (3 km) from the steps of the U.S. Capitol, where Trump will be sworn in as president on Jan. 20.
Trump won his first-ever campaign for elected office with an angry, populist platform that included promises to build a wall along the Mexican border and restrict immigration from Muslim countries, as well as promises to crack down on companies moving jobs out of the United States.
His supporters admire Trump's experience in business, including as a real estate developer and reality television star, and view him as a brash problem-solver likely to break through political logjams.
Trump's controversial comments about immigrants and women, and his vow to repeal the sweeping healthcare reform law that was President Barack Obama's signature domestic policy achievement, has drawn the anger of many on the left, who plan a series of protests.
"The 2017 march will bring all people together to insist on change and accountability," Sharpton said. "Donald Trump and his administration need to hear our voice and our concerns."
Civil rights groups including Sharpton's National Action Network, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the National Council of La Raza, as well as Democratic lawmakers including U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York plan to join the Saturday march.

They’re protesting liberty and freedom. They’d prefer to live in a country where they’re cuckold to an invasive and abusive government.
Muslims. Mexicans. And Al Sharpton.
Gee I bet Trump is shaking in his boots.

Just a week from today! Can Hardly wait!
Once the IRS is de-politicized (if possible), he might have to make arrangements.
Let’s see which “march” will draw more people: the Sharpton marc, or the March for Life

“The 2017 march will bring all people together to insist on change and accountability,” Sharpton said. “Donald Trump and his administration need to hear our voice and our concerns.”
This smells of desperation - Al knows the new Trump/Pence Administration will not let him skate on everything from conspiracy,inciting riots to non-payment of taxes.
He was high on the hog during the BHO regime, and now he’s starting to panic. Too much fun!
...Gonna take Friday off work to watch President-elect Donald J. Trump ...
It will be historic. And fun.
Send the racebaiters packing. Soros and Obama turned over rocks and Sharpton and the NAACP came out to feed.
You’ve gotta think that Sharpton and Trump know each other well. They all turn. IT’s their religion.
Roger That!
Which Saturday? Jan. 14, or Jan. 21?
Why don't they specify the date?
Good, the sooner this nonsense starts up, the sooner it will get old.
By the actual inauguration, protest marches and ill-informed idiots yelling lies into microphones/bullhorns to sycophantic crowds will be YESTERDAY’s NEWS!
So please, start tomorrow and do 2 or 3 of these a day!
“Martin Luther King’s “ real name was Michael King. He was a serial adulterer on Coretta Scott, his wife according to his right hand man , Ralph Abernathy, a real minister of Jesus, of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Michael king plagiarized his Doctoral dissertation and the University of Massachusetts . They will confirm his theft and lack of morals. Both he and his communist lawyer had hundreds of contacts and phone calls with the MAOIST in the China communist government and his FBI file was 10 file drawers forbidden access under the Freedom of Information Act. He was an immoral intellectual thief communist. Ronaqld Reagan was an IDIOT for signing a national holiday for the bastard.
He promised to enforce the laws of our nation.
He wasn't angry. It's the folks who don't want our laws enforced who are angry.
Reuters, that would be you in part!
