The people that are organizing the occupation of Washington DC that will begin on November 5th actually believe that it will result in the end of the Trump presidency. Anti-Trump groups have been planning this occupation for months, but it has kind of gone under the radar because the government shutdown and the imminent cut off of food stamp benefits have been dominating the headlines lately. This isn’t going to be like a “No Kings protest” where people show up and wave banners for a few hours before they go home. Instead, organizers intend for this upcoming occupation of Washington DC to be like the “Occupy Wall Street” movement of 2011 and the Black Lives Matter movement of 2020. Their plan is to literally stay in Washington DC until President Trump is forced out of the White House.
On November 5th, thousands of activists that have been mobilized over the past several months will “surround” the White House, the Capitol and the Supreme Court.
Organizers believe that the press that this will receive will encourage many more protesters to join them.
Of course if the government shutdown has not ended and food stamp benefits are still cut off as these protests begin, that will definitely motivate a lot of very angry people to show up.
Ultimately, organizers hope that millions of Americans will participate in this movement.
They are calling this “the biggest nonviolent mobilization in US history”, and they plan to keep showing up day after day until President Trump is removed from power.
On the official website of Refuse Fascism, organizers have posted their “call to action”. I have reproduced their entire “call to action” below so that you can see that I am not exaggerating one bit…
