Left Voice Among Thousands who #ResistTrump

Protesters have been in the street since the early morning, speaking out against Trump and all that he represents.

Protestors are speaking on a wide range of issues, including the occupation of Palestine, closing of Guantanamo Bay and some speaking out against both political parties. They are speaking out against deportation, against the wall, against racism and against misogyny.

There has been intense police presence and checkpoints around the city, making it difficult to create a unified march.

There have been a few cases of police repression with tear gas.

Protesters blocked an entrance to a security checkpoint, keeping Trump supporters from entering.

Protestes also blocked traffic on the Southeast-Southwest Freeway in Washington DC at around 1 pm.

Later in the afternoon, more than 90 protesters were arrested as the police attacked protesters with tear gas and protesters threw rocks at the cops. Protesters are several blocks away from the parade route, which is set to begin in a few hours.

Left Voice will be at the protests until the evening. Follow the coverage on Left Voice.

All Eyes on Columbia: We Must Build a National Campaign to Defend the Right to Protest for Palestine

After suspending and evicting students and ordering the repression of a student occupation, Columbia University has become the ground zero for attacks against the pro-Palestine movement. What happens at Columbia in the coming days has implications for our basic democratic rights, such as the right to protest.

Against the Criminalization of Opinion and in Defense of Our Right to Support Palestine: We Must Stand Up!

In France, the repression of Palestine supporters is escalating. A conference by La France Insoumise (LFI) has been banned; a union leader has been arrested and charged for speaking out for Palestine; court cases have increased against those who “condone terrorism”; and the state has stepped up its “anti-terrorism” efforts. In the face of all this, we must stand together.
