Anti-Trump Protest in DC Wednesday Is Expected to Draw Up to 20,000 People - Washingtonian

"On the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump's re-election as President, a coalition of progressive organizations plans to kick off a sustained series of nonviolent, public protests in DC beginning November 5. Organizers project that between 10,000 and 20,000 people may attend the protest on Wednesday in the nation's capital. Led by the activist group Refuse Fascism, the "Trump Must Go Now" rally intends to "flood DC" with waves of protesters over the coming days."

"Handmaid Army DC will lead pre-programming actions beginning at Columbus Circle and Union Station at 7:30 AM. Organizers encourage attendees to wear red "handmaid" costumes or other attire from the television show The Handmaid's Tale as a visual representation that "we aren't really willing to live like this." The group will then march to the Heritage Foundation offices, at 214 Massachusetts Ave., NE, at 8 AM. Another partner group, FLARE USA, will host the procession at their ongoing anti-Trump encampment at Union Station, located at 50 Massachusetts Ave., NE, for a 9 AM rally. The collective also plans to march to Congress with the Removal Coalition to speak with representatives and their staffs."

"The "Trump Must Go Now" rally will begin at 11 AM at the Sylvan Theater, which is located at the intersection of Independence Ave. and 15th St., near the base of the Washington Monument. Programming at the Sylvan will last about an hour and a half, says Sunsara Taylor, a spokesperson for Refuse Fascism. Around 1 PM, the protest will segue into a march."

On November 5 a coalition of progressive organizations will begin sustained nonviolent public protests in Washington, D.C., calling for Donald Trump's removal. Organizers expect 10,000–20,000 attendees for the main rally led by Refuse Fascism titled "Trump Must Go Now," with plans to "flood DC" in waves. Handmaid Army DC will host daily demonstrations through Veterans Day and additional actions November 20–22. Pre-programming begins at 7:30 AM at Columbus Circle and Union Station, followed by marches to the Heritage Foundation, Union Station encampment, and Congress. A Sylvan Theater program starts at 11 AM, with a march past the White House, Capitol, and Supreme Court.
