Thousands of protesters gathered in Washington as Refuse Fascism and nearly 20 partner groups launched their “Flood D.C.” campaign, demanding President Donald Trump’s removal from office. This movement, initiated on November 5, aims to “surround the White House” every Monday throughout November, distinguishing itself by its call for Trump’s ousting amidst rising concerns over his administration’s policies.
Organizers emphasize the need for sustained, nonviolent demonstrations to exert pressure on leadership, with the campaign attracting volunteers from various states, supported by over $158,000 raised for travel costs. Protests have included marches targeting university campuses, and a recent gathering outside the Supreme Court regarding LGBTQ+ rights, with participants voicing concerns over the administration’s stance on issues like immigration and family values.
The movement’s ongoing activities reflect its commitment to exercising free speech rights while advocating against what they view as the creeping influence of fascism in the U.S. and the need for collective action to prevent further political erosion.
