More than 600 protests are set to take place across America on Tuesday and Wednesday in an effort to show support for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
The country-wide events, dubbed “Nobody Is Above the Law,” are set to begin in various states on Tuesday evening at 5:30 p.m. local time.
“The night before the House of Representatives takes a somber vote to impeach Trump, we’ll head to every congressional office and public square to declare that Nobody Is Above the Law as representatives finalize their positions and senators look on,” the event website stated.
The main event is scheduled to occur on Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. local time outside of the United States Capitol in Washington, DC, while other large-scale protests are set to take place Tuesday, in New York in Times Square at 5:30 p.m. local time and Los Angeles at Grand Park across from Los Angeles City Hall at 5:30 p.m. local time.
Partners for the more than 600 events taking place nationwide include Need to Impeach, Women’s March, MoveOn, By the People, Center for American Progress, NextGen America, Voto Latino, Equal Justice Society, Progressive Democrats of America, Indivisible, and many others.
Several Hollywood elites have shared information on the event with their followers, including Alyssa Milano, Rob Reiner, and George Takei:
