As the nation braces for the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, grassroots organizations across the country are mobilizing in protest. Under the banner of We Fight Back 2025, more than 700 protests are reportedly planned nationwide on Jan. 20. Initial conveners include the Peoples Forum and the Palestinian Youth Movement, among others.

The protest is scheduled to take place at the citys Torch of Friendship at 6:30 p.m. ET and has been in the works for weeks. Medina said the protest aims to deliver a resounding rebuke to the Trump administrations anticipated agenda.

protests seems overly optimistic. There are fewer than 100 planned. The People's March yesterday was the "main event". They had over 250 protests across the US on Sat.
