Submitted by Luke on Sat, 04/29/2017 - 21:06

On the 29th of April, the huge People's Climate March succeded in putting a ring of protesters all the way around the White House. At 15th st, part of the march went North and around the White House before going back down 17th st to the Monument grounds. Another part went south directly to Constitution Ave, thus closing the ring around the White House. One report credited the march with exceeding Trump's inaugural spectator turnout.

Indigneous drummers lead round dance on Penn Ave in front of Trump Hotel against pipelines

Submitted by Luke on Fri, 04/28/2017 - 00:43

On the evening of April 27, as the People's Climate March was two days out, drummers from multiple Indigenous communities held a drum circle and round dance in front of Trump Hotel. At the climax the entire round dance took over Penn Ave in front of the hotel, blocking traffic in all 4 directions at Pennm and 12th sts. The drummers and dancers were there because of Trump's executive orders ramming pipelines through Indigenous lands, and Trumps general pro-extractive agenda too.
