The Jan. 20 Mass Protest along the Presidential Inaugural Route will be a powerful rejection of the Trump Agenda on Day One of his administration. Permits have been secured by the ANSWER Coalition for the large Navy Memorial site on Pennsylvania Ave. NW from 7th St. to 9th St. A 28-foot stage and a huge sound system will be set up there so that Trump, his big donors, the international media and indeed the whole world will see our presence.

This will be a protest unlike any other, and the Navy Memorial site will be the largest of all the protests on Jan. 20. The Navy Memorial stage will feature leaders from every grassroots movement — immigrant rights, labor, environmental justice, women’s rights, Movement for Black Lives, LGBTQ equality, anti-war and others — as well as progressive leaders from the whole spectrum of faith communities. Artists, musicians and DJs will be performing throughout the day to keep our energy high and the spirit of resistance alive.

This diverse group will unite together to send a powerful message of opposition to the extremist Trump Agenda, which includes attacks on Muslim and immigrant communities, women’s rights, workers’ rights, and the wholesale the privatization of the public sector, among other pro-Wall Street extremist plans that constitute the core of the Trump Agenda.

The protest has been moved from Freedom Plaza to the Navy Memorial, if anyone is going.

1. This is the first I've heard of this one.

The 20th seems like the better day for protesting.

2. The protests on Jan. 20 are not getting much (if any) press.

Not surprising though. The protests against w were ignored by just about every news organization.

4. Yes, they were ignored.

Some of the biggest protests/marches in US history happened during w's terms and practically no one ever knew.

3. I prefer to march on the 21st when we'll be the story and rule the news cycle.

I also think it's more powerful to follow up his circus with reality. Wipes away the BS.
