Anti-Trump ‘March On The RNC’ Organizers Fundraised For Bail Money In Anticipation Of Arrests

Donations for a “bail fund” were solicited by an umbrella organization protesting at a demonstration outside the Republican National Convention on Monday that they claim will draw 5,000 people from across the nation.

The Coalition to March on the RNC, consisting of more than 120 leftist groups, is unified by its fight against the “racist” agenda of the Republican Party, defense of abortion and immigrant rights, and standing with “Palestine,” according to its website.

The group says it solicited money for its “bail fund” during its “RNC Protest Kickoff to Raise Funds for Freedom Fighters” on Sunday, according to a post on its Instagram account.

The RNC is still going to nominate Trump, and Project 2025 is still their goal. There will be many more fights and a bail fund will be vital to defend themselves,” the group wrote. “It’s also vital we learn and build a grassroots community to fight for our lives.”

Another post mentioned the group reached “a handshake agreement” with the City of Milwaukee to march within “sight and sound of the RNC.”

“Because of this, we know we will be able to keep people safer, have a family-friendly march, and march against the Republicans,” the group wrote.

 

The Milwaukee City Attorney’s office and members of the city’s police department met with the group to discuss the agreement, which allows them to take a route outside the RNC’s security perimeter, according to Fox 6.

The group’s website also asks for donations to help cover the costs of protest supplies, water bottles, first aid kits, and legal fees. 

Leftist groups from across the country endorsed the march, including various unions, socialist clubs, and several anti-Israel organizations.

The agenda for its Monday protest includes a press conference, rally, and march beginning at noon CST, as reported by the New York Times.

The group has been organizing the march for at least two years, as its first Instagram post was from May 2022. Another post claims that several organizations involved also helped with the Coalition to March on the DNC in 2019 and 2020.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
