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.

The indoctrinated are hosts to the government parasites who prey on our tax money to line their pockets. Hence, the phrase, “Government sucks.”
These melt-downs began Nov. 9th and aren't likely to let up any time soon.
Communists have an insatiable appetite for taxpayer money.

The March of the Gibsmedats will be led by an accessory to the murder of a Jewish man from Crown Heights. Sharpton didn’t care about the victim’s civil rights.
NO!
SPECIALLY CRIMINAL ILLEGALs WHO INSIST ON CLAIMING THE RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP, BUT SIMULTANEOUSLY IGNORE EVERY U.S. IMMIGRATION LAW.
The only other criminal thugs not mentioned, but certainly present are the GLBTQWERTYXYZ perverts and the BLM hoods and the "social justice" morons.
Last but certainly not least, the GOPe who, in desperation, have adopted Hillary's criminal dirty tricks/fake news.
I hope the whole gang of losers and every a****le in the march wearing masks or with covered faces, bent on destruction and mayhem are shot on sight.
I don't know what you're suggesting here.
Are you suggesting that President Trump will order the IRS to shield Sharpton from further scrutiny as Obama did?

Silence? Where is the factual refutation? Go away.
Your post is full of beans, which will later turn into you-know-what.
Can you be more specific about what is wrong with the statements, if you're man enough to challenge documented facts.
Give us a list, loser!
Female dog, please.
High on the hog?
This crooked bastard VISITED THE WHITE HOUSE OVER 100 TIMES.
His luck is about to run out.
Re : Post #27
Unbelievable! The ABC affiliate is yet another disgusting example of the Propaganda Ministry...
Since federal civil rights protections must necessarly be based on rights that the states have have amended the Constitution to expressly protect imo, will somebody please tell me which constitutionally enumerated rights the protestors feel that Trump is going to violate?
Corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification federal lawmakers have been making a variety of civil rights laws for many generations to win votes from low-information voters imo, voters who probably dont know about the feds constitutionally limited powers, many such laws based on constitutionally nonexistant protections.
Stupid posts are back. Not rational, adds NOTHING.
Arrest sharpton for tax evasion
