Cleveland was one of the 20 cities or so
hosting a national protest against Donald Trump. It was announced on several
websites for today at Pubic Square at 1pm. I could not find anything at cleveland.com
or tv sites. I did find a Twitchy thread here, with photos from a few
locations. And the LA Daily News reported on the LA event:
LOS
ANGELES >> A protest against President Donald Trump drew a group of
counter-demonstrators in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, Nov. 4, with the two
groups kept apart by police.
The
group Refuse Fascism started the demonstration at Pershing Square at 1 p.m. as
part of an organized across the United States.
One
anti-Trump protester was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department for
repeated attempts to broach the makeshift barricades set up to keep the groups
separated.
The
event got off to a slow start. Dee
Cole, 46, of Lancaster said she was disappointed with what she saw as a low
turnout. “Not a lot of people must be watching the news,” she said.
Randy
Dixon, 57, watched the protesters setting up on 5th Street near Hill and
pronounced it a waste of time. As he saw it, the rally, with about 150-200
people gathered by 1 p.m., would not have an impact.
“I
think it’s crazy. It’s useless. It’s not going to get Trump out of office,”
Dixon said. “He’s here for the duration unless they find something illegal about
him.”

The
group Refuse Fascism planned the demonstration as part of an organized effort
in various cities around the U.S.
.

But wait, there’s more to come.
A “Scream at the Sky” protest (literally titled
"Scream helplessly at the sky on the anniversary of the election," according
to Newsweek) is
scheduled for next Wednesday, Nov. 8.
