"The Trump-Pence regime must go," said longtime greater Cleveland community activist Bill Swain of Refiusefacim.org. "And we cannot wait until he is possibly impeached because by then the president would have likely dropped bombs on Korea."
Swain said that people cannot wait for politicians to act and must get in the streets and protest.
"When Blacks gained the right to vote in America it was because millions protested in the streets," said Swain, who is White.
(Note from references from wikipedia.org: Amendment XV did give Black people the right to vote in 1870, and some used it right away, electing state and federal senators and representatives. Jim Crow quickly snatched away that right for all practical purposes, however, as poll taxes and literacy tests--and Klansmen--denied blacks that fundamental right. President Johnson's Civil Rights Act of 1964 was the true turning point in the USA's history of beginning to embrace Blacks as full citizens with equal rights. The Voting Rights Act remains under attack by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Trump administration).
The most recent anti-Trump rallies come as President Trump chips away at Civil rights gains impacting the Black community and other disenfranchised groups, and targets American immigrants. And it follows indictments that came down relative to a federal probe by the Justice Department of Trump affiliates and Russia's meddling with the 2016 presidential election.
Indicted were three of Trump's ex-aids that helped him beat Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in a heated election, namely one-time campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Manafort's deputy, Rick Gates, and Paul Papadopoulous, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and took a plea deal.
Manafort and Gates are both accused of money laundering, making false statements to the FBI and a host of other counts, the pair pleading not guilty..
