Yes, there WAS a Refuse Fascism protest yesterday at Public Square. Here’s some of Cleveland 19's Digital Team News report (h/t Ralph King’s FB page):

An Anti-Trump protest was held at Public Square in Downtown Cleveland on Saturday.  
Around 50 people attended the protest.
Protesters spoke for about 40 minutes before the group marched through Downtown Cleveland.

Today was Refuse Fascism Day

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.
