Activists in L.A. are set for another public demonstration against the Trump administration Monday in a rally coined “Not My President’s Day.” Organizers expect several thousand people to turn out in L.A. Monday, while similar protests are also being planned in cities like Chicago, New York, Denver and Washington, D.C.
The L.A. protest is set to begin at 9 a.m. in front of City Hall and continue through 1 p.m. As of Sunday afternoon, more than 4,000 people have RSVP’d on the event’s Facebook page, while another 18,000 expressed interest in attending. But it’s unclear how the weather – with light showers expected for Monday morning – will ultimately affect the expected turnout.
Olga Lexell, one of the head organizers of Monday’s rally in L.A., told KPCC she and her friends came up with the idea for a protest on President’s Day in an attempt to continue momentum between the Women’s March, which drew millions into the streets on Jan. 21, and the next large protest in Washington planned for Tax Day, April 15.
