one in five Americans have either protested or attended a political rally since the start of 2016

According to a Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation poll, one in five Americans have either protested or attended a political rally since the start of 2016. These activists, many newly minted, are overwhelmingly anti-Trump. Mitchell aims to make sure they turn their revulsion into votes. “There’s all these mass movements, from Occupy all the way down to this most recent student movement, and the Black Lives Matter movement and the #MeToo movement,” he told me. “Could we create an electoral expression of these movements?”

I have attended 14 marches /events and I still have my signs to reuse/update. I wish I didn't have the flu and high fever for 6 days...I was ready to go.

I hope he doesn't fire Rosenstein at all but if he does I hopes it's after I feel better I want to attend the Nobody is Above the Law events in over 800 cities who will take to the streets within hours of an announcement. Rep Ted Lieu said that the firing would piss off so many that the protests will be bigger than both the Women's March and March For Our Lives.

Our response in the hours following a power grab will dictate what happens next and whether Congress—the only body with the constitutional power and obligation to rein Trump in from his rampage—will do anything to stand up to him.

That's why we're preparing to hold emergency "Nobody is Above the Law" rallies around the country, in the event they are needed.

Use the map or search below by ZIP code to find an event near you, or create one if none exists.

Rallies will begin just hours after national events are triggered:

If actions are triggered BEFORE 2 p.m. local time —> events will begin @ 5 p.m. local time.
If actions are triggered AFTER 2 p.m. local time —> events will begin @ noon local time the following day.
