The Democratic convention won’t be a walk in the park either but we’ll likely hear more about the GOP protests.

Leftist students to protest at GOP Convention

Several student groups from around the country are planning to join other socialist and progressive organizations to protest the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Cleveland later this month.

According to Breitbart, Students for a Democratic Society—which includes Westchester University of Pennsylvania, the University of Minnesota, the University of Utah and Angelina College—along with multiple other groups, will attend the “Coalition to Stop Trump and March on the RNC” rally on the first day of the RNC, July 18.

FightBack, a leftist website promoting the event, reports that the “protest will put forward the slogans ‘Dump Trump,’ ‘Say No to the Republican Agenda,’ ‘Stand against Racist, Anti-immigration, and Anti-Muslim Attacks,’ [and] ‘We demand Peace, Justice, and Equality.’”

“We’re hoping for a march that draws thousands,” stated Coalition to Stop Trump and March on the RNC spokesperson Mick Kelly. “There is a growing tide of anger in the country, directed against Trump and the reactionary, anti-people agenda of the Republican Party. We intend to fill the streets with people who reject their racist, anti-immigrant, and anti-Muslim attacks.”

One of the groups, Student and Graduate Activists (SAGA) at University of Illinois-Chicago, helped shut down a Trump rally in March where 5 people were arrested. One of the members of SAGA, Kait McIntrye, is a member of Freedom Road Socialist Organization which hosted Ali Abunimah, a Palestinian journalist who claims that Zionism is the “worst, lowest most despicable racism.”
