Resistance to Greet Trump's 100-Day "Campaign Rally" in Pennsylvania
Counter-protests will take place in Pennsylvania on Saturday night, across the street from where President Donald Trump is holding a “BIG rally” to mark his 100th day in office.
Trump will speak at the Harrisburg Farm Show Complex on the same night as the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C.—a corporate media event Trump previously said he was boycotting due to unfavorable treatment by the press.
But he won’t be able to avoid negative attention altogether, with two protests set to highlight and denounce what one group called Trump’s “racist Wall St. agenda.” Organizers told the Washington Post they expect the two events to attract upwards of 600 people.
“Trump’s first 100 days have done incredible harm,” said Michael Morrill of Keystone Progress, part of a coalition that’s organizing a march from downtown Harrisburg to the Farm Show Complex. “We are proud to be a part of the vibrant resistance to Trump’s attacks on immigrants, Muslims, people of color, women, the LGBT community, and workers and their unions. We are marching in a united front against these attacks.”
