On the one-year anniversary of the 2024 presidential election, hundreds of people assembled with signs and chants of resistance for the launch of a rally that has no plans of stopping until President Donald Trump (R) is out of power.
Presented by Refuse Fascism, a nonprofit established in the first Trump administration, the Nov. 5 demonstration brought numerous speakers and musical performances to Sylvan Theater on the National Mall, challenging issues and mobilizing support against what Sunsara Taylor calls “illegitimacy” within the government.
“Our time is now,” Taylor, a founding member of Refuse Fascism, told The Informer. “Either we drive him out nonviolently, or we give him the future. There’s no compromise.”
…Micheal Fanone, a police officer who endured the January 6, 2021, insurrection, was among the main speakers, hoping to fuel courage in the continued fight against the Trump administration.
