RESIST! REMOVE! Peace. Spread the word...resistance works! THANKS!
Across the nation on Wednesday, July 18, 2018, we will Confront Corruption and Demand Democracy with a candlelight vigil at sundown.
From attacks on the rule of law to conflicts of interest, ethics violations and flagrant abuse of government offices for personal gain, the corruption of the American government by the President, his associates and many in his party has reached a new, profound low.
Officials are trading on the power invested in our institutions for personal and financial gain rather than for the welfare of the American people. From attacks on the Russia investigation to ethics scandals in the highest offices in the land, we must reject attempts to shield corruption from political consequences, public scrutiny, and legal accountability.

(9,457 posts)1. I will be at the one in NYC.
8pm at 47th St. in front of the TKTS stairs.
It will probably be spread out around the nabe. Not sure what kind of crowd control they will have.
Our NYPD is usually good with this kind of stuff.

They spell out "CONFRONT CORRUPTION". The group calls themselves the "Overpass Light Brigade".

A month ago we did it on a diff overpass with "Families Belong Together" letters. It was on the news and the letters were really impressive to view from the highway. Lots of cars honking in support too.
We had some protesters at a PP rally about 6 weeks ago that had pasteboards with LED lights that spelled out a message. It was very effective.
