PEORIA, IL -- Fed up with Trump and his fascist pals? Here's an event, from the Facebook page:
Peoria No Ban No Wall added an event.
Enough is Enough! Central Illinois Against Fascism & Racism!
Enough is enough. Since the candidacy of President Trump, we have noticed a growing and alarming resurgence in fascism in this country. And his victory in November only strengthened the already present white supremacy that lies at the foundations of American history.
Groups and activists from all across Central Illinois will be gathering at the Federal Building in Peoria on September 9th, Saturday, at 3:30PM to draw a line in the sand: NO TRUMP! NO KKK! NO FASCIST USA!
History has shown us multiple times that when fascism and bigotry are allowed to organize, to infiltrate the government, and build a platform the consequences are devastating. We refuse to repeat history. "Never again" is our motto.
Our demands:
-- The immediate impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump and Vice-President Mike Pence.
-- The classification of white supremacy as a form of terrorism, and its prosecution by the DOJ & FBI.
-- The immediate removal of all white supremacists elements of the government (including Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, Stephen Miller, Kris Kobach, and Julie Kirchner).
-- The immediate removal of Rex Tillerson, and any other individual within the executive, with direct ties to Russia.
-- An end to the state terrorism committed against black, brown and immigrant individuals in this country.
Join us in this nonviolent, direct action. Bring signs, flags, posters, instruments, loudspeakers, and most importantly your voice.
More info coming soon.
Now you're off the rails, hon.
Y'all need help - all of you.

I saw the one comment notice and knew it was from the Von. Sitting in a closet all day makes Vonster an ignorant man.

I drove by the "protest" site at 3:10 Sat and all I saw was what looked like some homeless and Jerry's (Garcia) kids starting to shamble about

The protest began about 3:30 pm, and ultimately about 75 people showed up though not all at the same time.
