Make Racists Afraid Again! Counter-Protest the MN March 4 Trump
March 4, 2017 @ 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Join Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and others in counter-protesting the Minnesota March 4 Trump rally at the state capitol on March 4th at noon. Meet up by the Capitol/Rice St. lightrail stop.
The election of Donald Trump has emboldened and energized the extreme right in this country. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center more than 1,000 hate crimes occured in the first month after Trump’s election and a full one-third of these hate crimes made direct reference to Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan. Other acts of hate-based violence made reference to his comments about sexual assault and grabbing pussies. White Supremacists are coming out of the shadows and organizing more openly. Join SDS on March 4th to send them packing, to make racists afraid again, by counter-protesting the Minnesota March 4 Trump.
The movement against Trump is gaining steam nationally with increased militance. SDS sees this increased militancy as a good thing and want to encourage this development in Minnesota too. A diversity of tactics is needed in bringing forth a better world, and people should engage how they see fit.
*Please bring noisemakers to help drown out the hate speech and alternative facts of the alt-right*
