Protesters will march to Donald Trumps Mar-a-Lago during his Florida vacation this weekend

http://www.palmerreport.com/politics/protesters-mar-a-lago-donald-trump-florida/1236/

In the eleven days since Donald Trump has been in office, the protests against him — both preplanned and spontaneous — have been massive and sustained. The Women’s March overtook entire cities. This weekend’s protests against Trump’s Muslim ban have taken over airports and public squares. Recent protests outside the White House shut down Pennsylvania Avenue. And now comes an organized protest outside Donald Trump’s other home, to coincide with his imminent vacation there.

The march has been organized on a Facebook event called “March to Mar-A-Lago for Humanity” and will take place this Saturday, February 4th while Trump is at his Florida home. The crowd is gathering at Trump Plaza in West Palm Beach at 5pm, and it’ll march over to Trump’s location at Mar-a-Lago beginning at 6pm.

The event organizer explains that “In light of recent events and our growing concern with the authoritarianism of the Trump Administration, the name of our march was changed. It now reflects the worsening state of affairs under the Trump Administration … In addition to being a peaceful demonstration, MARCH TO MAR-A-LAGO will be a celebration of our impassioned political engagement, our unity in the face of oppression from the alt-right Trump Administration and above all, our rebooted sense of HOPE.”

spontaneous and otherwise all possible!

“March to Mar-A-Lago for Humanity” is a good descriptive name.

Good Luck to them! Mahalo BBJ

I support all formats which expedite these protest! Let our voices be heard... and all the more when it 'inconveniences' Trump's recreation time. I'm. Not able to relax, why should he?!

Mahalo, Cha!

Btw, I must admit, I had to look up mahalo.

Look what example sentence google uses for it:

a Hawaiian word used when thanking someone.
"mahalo to all of you who took the time to vote"

Whats the weather like on your island, cha?

That is awesome, there should be a massive Mar-a-Lago march.

There are so many of us, everywhere, and we can mobilize so quickly, we're like one of those creatures made of many other creatures. We are Fight Club.

We can meet them anyplace, anytime, and we can shapeshift. They wouldn't even know why their street happened to have so much traffic on their way to, oh, their vote on whether to kill puppies before they eat them.

I think someone named Crisco first thought of this.
