Inauguration Day Protests

Last edited Mon Dec 26, 2016, 01:07 AM - Edit history (1)

People are taking to the streets all over the country on inauguration day, Jan. 20th.

JOIN THEM! Don't sit home, PARTICIPATE!

In my town I found WAMM - Women Against Military Madness posting their MEGA march on inauguration day.

Find groups organizing in your city/town. Take to the streets! Don't sit home.
Make your signs. Make your anti-trump, anti-republican known.

Are you in?

**************************
[Update: Jan. 21st is the Million Women's March on Washington, many cities are participating in solidarity. Saturday!

Join in on both if you can: Friday Jan. 20th & Saturday Jan. 21st. Find the protests in your own towns.

that day. I have no choice. I feel our lives are at stake.

I will confess to not being particularly brave in this regard as I suspect my employer will accept my position with only minor push back. I'm lucky to have an understanding employer.

Maybe one day, maybe longer.

I have a critical job, so somebody has to be there.

Than I've seen so far. I would expect more to begin to endorse the idea.

From my understanding of the truth of this election result and what is about to unfold as we progress through the next 2 years I honestly see no other option:

a loudspeaker or some foghorns during the ride to the White house with dickhead.

That would make my day! I am going to try to go to a protest but I have a problem with my back and don't know if I can physically.

There are several that are easy to find.

But yea, getting together with a group of people would be really nice. Maybe I'll call around and see if they have something for people with handicaps

start in one place... march... and end up at the State Capital with a massive rally with speakers etc. If you are handicapped, could you make it to the rally location(s)?

I have 3 family members flying to DC for the March on Washington. I will be marching in my home city with many.

My sign will have this theme:

LEARN THE CONSTITUTION
YOU OATH-ED TO UPHOLD
