RefuseFascism.org, a New York City-based group organized to oppose Donald Trump, is holding a rally this evening at the Matthew Shepard Triangle Memorial Park in West Hollywood
The rally is a protest of Trump’s nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court. It will take place at 5:30 p.m. at the park, which is at the intersection of Santa Monica and Crescent Heights boulevards.

It means is we have to step outside politics-as-usual and wage a mass, nonviolent political struggle that not only stops this Supreme Court pick, but keeps going until we have driven the whole Trump/Pence regime from power.”

Tonight’s protest is one of several being held nationwide by RefuseFascism.org that will demand the removal of Trump and his vice president, Mike Pence.

I’m sure to no one’s surprise you could of guessed that I attended the rally, if for no other reason to debunk all the comments posted by those who opposed it and, never attended. Attending political rallies will by no means have an adverse effect on the midterm elections, quite the contrary. It is important for people (most especially oppressed minority groups) to know in a very practical way that they are NOT alone in their points of view. Progressive political movements have lost badly in many instances when their supporters feel isolated and unsupported, to the point that elite… Read more »
