Providence, RI: Disrupt MAGA, March 25th

This Saturday, March 25th, at 11 AM, the Rhode Island State House in Providence will be the rallying point for a pro-Trump “Make America Great Again” march. While many MAGA and “March 4 Trump” rallies across the country have drawn fairly small crowds despite prominent media coverage, this one aims to be big, with approximately 250 Trump supporters marked as “going” on the Facebook event page, and many more hundreds marked as “interested.”

For a small state like Rhode Island, that is a sizeable rally if the numbers prove to be accurate. Trump supporters from out-of-state plan on attending, including Bikers for Trump, the Oath Keepers, and potentially a Connecticut-based KKK group, thus using our city and our state as a place to express their hate and intimidate our people, which is clearly unwelcome.

As many of our comrades know, these Trump rallies are prime opportunities for fascistic individuals and organizations to influence and organize and recruit, and many residents of Providence and of Rhode Island are not going to allow their attempts go unopposed or without disruption. The MAGA rally will begin as a march, gathering at Providence City Hall at approximately 10 AM before proceeding to the Rhode Island State House between 10:30 and 11 AM where they will host a lineup of speakers, including local Republican politicians. If you live in the New England area, Providence could use your assistance with the community-organized counter-protest.

Stand with us in solidarity and make some noise!
