Justice For Laquan: People Rise Up

In bitter cold freezing weather, youth, students and workers came out in Oshkosh January 20, 2019 for a spirited “Dump Trump!” demonstration. Members from a rainbow of organizations such as the Communist Workers League, FRSO Wisconsin, Latin American Solidarity Committee-Milwaukee, Move To Amend, SDS UW Oshkosh, United Action Oshkosh and the Wisconsin Bail Out The People Movement.

Beginning with chants and speak-outs at the Sun Dial in downtown Oshkosh, protesters held aloft placards and banners expressing militant anti-racist resistance to the Trump regime. Following a speak-out, protesters marched for a few blocks circling back to the Sun Dial for speaker’s closing remarks.
