Resist Trump and the Far-Right: Montreal Anti-Trump Meeting (February 1)
It’s NOW official, Trump is the 45th president of the United States (sigh… *anger*). We helped organize some amazing demonstrations with hundreds of people showing up to march against Trump, the far right, capitalism, and in solidarity with all whom these oppress. High five to everyone!
Thank you for your support and your help organizing it! Although this battle is done, the war is far from over (insert dramatic sound effects). There is still work to do and we are calling for a meeting on Wednesday, February 1st, at 6:30pm (at 1500 de Maisonneuve West, #204, métro Guy-Concordia).
