Numerous inquiries from our readers have surfaced regarding advanced notice of forthcoming protests, a commendable initiative. However, the mainstream media appears hesitant to address the burgeoning resistance against the Trump/Musk agenda.
Scheduled for Friday at noon ET, a protest at the iconic Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC is set to unfold. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has confirmed his attendance and will address the gathering at 1:15 ET. In a statement from Sen. Van Hollenâs office, it was highlighted that he will stand in solidarity with scientists, researchers, patients, union leaders, and advocates against the detrimental impacts of Trump and Musk’s assaults on scientific research conducted at vital institutions like the National Institutes of Health and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The rally will serve as a platform for Senator Van Hollen to underscore the perilous repercussions posed by the administration’s removal of merit-based federal employees and the drastic funding cuts to crucial disease research, medical advancements, and climate monitoring efforts. Bill Nye, a prominent figure in the science community, is among the distinguished speakers slated for the Stand Up For Science Rally.
Noteworthy is Senator Van Hollen’s consistent presence at such protests, alongside Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT), Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and other like-minded individuals. In contrast, Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont has opted for a different strategy. Leveraging his progressive following, he embarks on a national tour aiming to educate and mobilize the populace against oligarchy.
The itinerary for Sen. Sanders’s initial stop in Wisconsin on Friday, March 7, includes a thought-provoking session titled “Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here” at UW-Parkside in Kenosha. The weekend ahead holds promise with three events lined up, featuring Sanders and United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain.
