Anti-fascists protest American Renaissance Conference in Tennesee

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 07/30/2017 - 15:54

On the 29th of July, the neo-Nazi American Renaissance Conference met at Montgomery Bell State Park in Tenessee. They have been there since they were driven from Dulles and the DC area by anti-Fascist protesters. This time around, fleeing to Tenessee did not protect them. Anti-Facists protested the event, and frustrated alt-right Nazis responsed with scattered violence. A DC activist was nearly run down by a carload of Nazis, and one AMREN attendee had to go to the hospital by helicopter after he didn't do well in the fight he chose to start.

Submitted by Luke on Fri, 07/28/2017 - 01:30

Twenty hours of scheduled debate on Trumpcare ended at 9:30PM on July 27 with protesters again at the US Capitol and no bill passed. An 8 page bill was released-with two pages dedicated to defunding Planned Parenthood. In a hurried vote beginning at 1:20 AM on July 28, this 4th attempt at passing Trumpcare was defeated by a single vote. McCain voted NO, and Pence left the Capitol in defeat. Protest WORKS!

Protesters at the US Capitol chant "Shame on You!" and "Kill the bill!"

Planned Parenthood protests Trumpcare near US Capitol as total ACA repeal fails

Submitted by Luke on Wed, 07/26/2017 - 22:15

On the 26th of June, Planned Parenthood held a protest against "Trumpcare" with hundreds of supporters, many dressed in Pink at Upper Senate Park. Speakers noted that once again, all of the proposed bills boot millions off insurance, bring back pre-existing conditions exclusions-and all defend Planned Parenthood. They also pointed out that all this is to fund tax cuts for the rich.

Speakers explain the importance of Planned Parenthood's services-and what's wrong with these bills
