SACRAMENTO, CA – At least 75 demonstrations are set around the U.S. this weekend—including in the capital of California—to protest soon-to-be President Donald Trump’s “extreme right billionaire agenda” and inauguration next week.
The Sacramento rally begins Saturday, Jan. 18, at 12 Noon at the Federal Courthouse, 501 I St.
National details are listed at WeFightBack2025.org.
Sacramento organizers said they were “responding to a call from the We Fight Back 2025 mobilization activists and concerned community members (and) will hold a rally for immigrant rights, worker’s rights, women’s rights, LGBTQ rights and demand money for people’s needs, not the war machine.”
“Trump ran a con game during the election. His real agenda is to destroy worker’s rights, deport millions of immigrant families, and pave the way for complete corporate takeover by ending regulations to protect the environment, firing thousands of public sector workers, and transferring ever-larger parts of the National Treasury to the military industrial complex,” said Kevin Martinez of the ANSWER Coalition.
Tahnee Stair Sweeney, also an organizer for the ANSWER Coalition, added, “Trump is 100 percent behind Netanyahu’s genocidal war against the Palestinian and Arab people. But we can defeat the Trump program. The fight starts right now. Tens of thousands of people are taking action this weekend all across the country, and joining this new national movement.”
“Trump 2024 election,” according to organizers nationally, “represents the complete failure of the Democratic Party to stop the rise of the ultra-right. In fact, they have contributed to it by adopting much of the program of the extreme right while embracing endless war.
“Instead of responding to the needs of the people, both the Democrats and the Republicans have moved further and further to the right. Trump’s agenda is the culmination of this right-ward spiral, and his administration will move to make major gains for the billionaire class at the expense of the millions of everyday people in the US and across the world.”
National organizers, on their website, said they can beat Trump “not by following the Democratic Party establishment, but by building a massive movement against the ruling class and the political system that gives everything to billionaires while impoverishing an ever larger section of the population.
“This fight starts right now. Tens of thousands of people are taking action on January 20th all across the country. Join this new national movement.”

TDS, the second wave of the pandemic.
“TDS” and “Lawfare” are examples of MAGA cult language.
It’s not cult language if it’s true.
No one outside of the MAGA cult uses “TDS” and “Lawfare”.
Walter, I think you know full well what TDS is. LOL
I know what TDS is but I never use it. Usage is for MAGA cultists. I have to recognize what it means to point out MAGA cultists. You used TDS first here, not me.
I understood that there was already a “rally” on November 4th, in regard to the majority of voters at least.
And that’s without even counting the preferences of cats, dogs, and geese. 🙂
