From Mar-A-Lago to Far-and-Wide, Protesters March Again as Anti-Trump Movement Persists
From New York City to Trump's "Winter White House" at Mar-A-Lago in Florida, the opposition refused to remain silent for the third weekend in a row
Feb 04, 2017
A weekend of continued anti-Trump protest... Check back for news and updates below...
For the third weekend in a row, people in the United States and around the world were registering their disgust and opposition to President Donald Trump by staging rallies and protests against the new administration's far-right agenda.
Though the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department were forced by court injunction to halt their enforcement of a controversial immigration order issued by Trump last Friday, many of the scheduled protest this weekend came together in opposition to Trump's attack on vulnerable communities, his assault on the constitution, his unfettered economic attack on working people and the poor, and cabinet choices that include titans of Wall Street and the fossil fuel industry.
A large demonstration sponsored by the LGBTQ community and its allies in New York City kicked off Saturday afternoon near the famous Stonewall Inn, with tens of thousands expected to attend, as other anti-Trump protests were underway or scheduled in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, London, Los Angeles, Chicago, and numerous other cities and towns.
"Join us in front of the Stonewall Inn as we stand in solidarity with every immigrant, asylum seeker, refugee and every person impacted by Donald Trump's illegal, immoral, unconstitutional and un-American executive orders," the organizers in New York stated. "We will also speak out against Trump's selection of the most anti-LGBT nominees and appointees in modern history."
While Vice President Mike Pence was met with large crowds in Philadelphia, where he delivered remarks at a mid-day event, a protest is also scheduled to take place Saturday evening outside Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, where the president is spending the weekend.
In West Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday evening, protesters were gathering to march on Trump's estate at Mar-a-Lago:

An Unconstitutional Rampage
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
