Join Event

Join Rise and Resist and other activists in Union Square to mark Presidents Day. This day we resist the current Trump administration, the GOP Congress, and the unelected oligarchs. Make no mistake, this is a coup and we are not going to submit quietly. We are not going back.

This is a non-violent and peaceful demonstration, bring signs, banners, acoustic instruments, and your friends.
We’re calling for a NATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST on Presidents Day, so please tell your friends across the US!

So many people in our communities all across the US are being attacked and terrorized right now. People are outraged and energized and want to gather together in solidarity to STOP THE COUP!

We will not have a stage or speeches or sound system — the energy will be about getting together to make some noise. This is not the time for speeches, we’re past that.

WHAT: Gather in Union Square NYC at 1PM and make some noise. We have singers and performers who will lead some chants, invited groups (Rude Mechanical Orchestra, Resistance Revival Chorus, and others) will sing and resist, then we’ll march to Washington Square Park and do it again.
