The #WalkAway march is scheduled for Saturday, October 27.
Many speakers are confirmed, including Dinesh D’Souza and Wayne Dupree (and by remote, Herman Cain and Diamond & Silk).
You may or may not have heard of Brandon Straka. The Heavy.com blog reported that
Brandon Straka is a New York
hairstylist who gained fame as the face of a new #WalkAway movement urging
people to leave liberalism, which he says has become too intolerant.
Straka gained fans among
conservatives when he appeared in a video denouncing the left and saying that
he was switching political allegiance. In the wake of that attention, he
says he has been denied service while trying to buy a camera and other
equipment. Conservative celebrities like Sarah Palin and websites then
highlighted Straka’s effort, which has turned into the hashtag #WalkAway.
Breitbart reported on the #WalkAway movement last July – see
here. In September, Davis Richardson at Observer reported on Straka’s temporary suspension from Facebook.
The #WalkAway march in Washington DC will take place on
Saturday, October 27 (time and location not yet posted on the website). The website is here. I could not find any buses scheduled
for this event from the northern Ohio area. I’ll update if I find any details.
