Tens of thousands of people are expected in Washington ahead of Inauguration Day in January to protest President-elect Donald Trump and policy priorities that they say will undermine the rights of women, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community and racial and religious minorities.
The demonstration, dubbed the “People’s March on Washington,” is scheduled for Jan. 18, two days before the inauguration. It is being organized by leading civil rights, racial justice and reproductive health organizations, including the Women’s March and Abortion Access Now, a coalition of organizations including the ACLU, Planned Parenthood and the National Women’s Law Center.
Organizers estimate 50,000 people will attend, according to a permit application, during a season when officials expect a surge of protests — and celebrations — from across the political spectrum as the nation’s seat of power transitions from Joe Biden to Trump. There are more than 10 permit applications filed with the National Park Service for rallies, vigils and protests between now and the end of January related to the election, democracy, abortion and the Israel-Gaza war, including another Women’s March demonstration this Saturday at Columbus Circle.

Communist
INSURRECTION!
Sounds like an insurrection! Throw them in the DC gulag and leave them there for 3-4 years before giving them a trial. And toss in any left-tard lawyers, politicians, media or bureaucrats that complain about it.
Are these the “people” who lost the election?
Yup.
Those people.
They marched the streets of Washington D.C. the first time Trump was inaugurated. Remember the “Pussy Hats?”
I doubt that will fly this time.
These people are the supposed guardians of democracy...unless they lose an election...
>>>It is being organized by leading civil rights, racial justice and reproductive health organizations, including the Women’s March and Abortion Access Now, a coalition of organizations including the ACLU, Planned Parenthood and the National Women’s Law Center.<<<
Trumps DOJ needs to investigate all these communist organizations for campaign violations on Day One.
INSURRECTION....arrest them all and throw them in prison for ever!
“racial justice”
Those are anti-white hate groups.
I’d love to have our own General Augusto Pinochet, but I’m very cool with another term of Donald John Trump.
Along with the lefty Tinseltown freaks.
Obviously.
Be praying for ‘lovely’ weather
Reproductive health organizations?
There are organizations devoted to reproductive health, meaning that they are helping couples have children? Meaning that they want to ensure that women have healthy pregnancies?
Is Madonna still thinking about blowing up the White House?
Sounds like an insurrection to me.
