Hundreds of people marched through the downtown Loop area, chanting slogans like “Hey, hey, ho, ho—Donald Trump has got to go!”


Houston

About 125 people came out to a rally called by the HTX Election Defenders coalition with the demand #CountEveryVote. It was organized by many of the progressive groups in Houston, youth, environmentalists, Democrats, RF, Womens March, and other activists. United by the demand to protect the election, different viewpoints were expressed, ranging from young people calling out the fascism of Trump, to the need to stay in the streets until Trump/Pence are gone by RF, to some people speaking to their confidence in the electoral process. Along with “Count Every Vote” and periodic “Trump/Pence Out Now” chants, one chant that set the tone was “the people are peaceful we know what to do, we’re rising together to stop this coup.”

Minneapolis

Minneapolis–Hundreds of people marched through the streets, at one point shutting down traffic on the interstate I-94. They called for all votes in the presidential election to be counted, and also demanded end to murder by police and end to homelessness.

IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!

NOW IS the TIME WHEN WE MUST RISE UP and ACT to STOP the CONSOLIDATION of TRUMP MAGA FASCISM. For the lives of people here and around the world we must refuse unlawful and inhumane orders… we must fill the streets and town squares in non-violent protest—not stopping until we become millions — not relenting until this regime is no longer able to implement its program or maintain its hold on power.
