Tallahassee, FL \u2013 On Saturday, October 18, over 1000 people rallied at the Florida Capitol to protest Donald Trump\u2019s attacks on immigrant rights, LGBTQ rights, and democratic rights altogether.<\/p>\n
Members of the No King Rally headed towards the center of the capitol to hear speeches from Tallahassee\u2019s Indivisible Chapter. People also gathered around progressive organizations that led chants and gave separate speeches at another spot within the protest.<\/p>\n
\u201cDonald Trump, we\u2019re not scared, we\u2019re not going anywhere!\u201d shouted Delilah Pierre, president of the Tallahassee Community Action Committee (TCAC). After the protest, Pierre explained, \u201cI attended the No Kings protest because I wanted to say no to the continuing attacks on Palestine, to the police brutality and crimes that are still frequent and unpunished, to the detention centers and illegal arrests of undocumented immigrants. Everyone here might not have the same ideas, but we have a common goal \u2013 to fight back against the Trump administration and win!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe cannot win unless we are organized, unless we are unified,\u201d said Regina Joseph, who spoke on behalf of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. \u201cWe\u2019re giving $20 billion to Argentina \u2013 we force other places to accept immigrants and wage war around the world while other people are starving. That\u2019s not right! We need to organize something outside of the two party system, a political party that will fight and stand with the people!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAmidst mass liberal big-tent protests, immigrant rights activists need to push the massive upsurge of people into the political struggle to build something radical and real,\u201d said Aedan Bennett, a member of the Tallahassee Immigrant Rights Alliance.<\/p>\n
Activists from the TCAC stayed hours after the main protest ended, rallying with the protesters still remaining and energizing people to fight against the Trump administration.<\/p>\n
