From ShutDownDC:
“In response to Trump’s victory, claiming that he would go to the Supreme Court to stop the vote count, ShutDownDC will deploy demonstrations today to “shut down the attack on democracy.”
What: Demonstrations will deploy in downtown DC in response to Trump’s premature declaration of victory
When: November 4, 2020 at 11AM
Where: Union Station, Fountain at Columbus Circle
50 Massachusetts Avenue NE, Washington, DC, 20002
Who:
ShutDownDC, in conjunction with over 10 other organizations, including 350 DC, Arm in Arm DC, Beautiful Trouble, Black Lives Matter DC, CASA in Action, Continue to Serve, Democratic Socialists of America DMV, Extinction Rebellion DC, Long Live GoGo, The Palm Collective, Rising Tide North America, Spaces in Action, and Sunrise Movement DC
Why: In a desperate last attempt to cinch the election, Trump has prematurely declared victory and promised to use the Republican majority in the Supreme Court to stop votes from being counted, building on mounting examples of Republican attempts to stop vote counting in recent weeks. The moving protest will focus on the organizations and institutions that have aided and abetted Trump’s attack on democracy.”
