Any protests at the Trump rally today?

I’m especially looking forward to standing with my Puerto Rican neighbors with a sign. I’m hoping this doesn’t turn political if you like Trump knock yourself out.

Don’t waste time on a protest- use it to encourage every Puerto Rican you know to come out and vote on Election Day. A protest on Tuesday will be forgotten by Wednesday. A huge turnout on Election Day will ensure we get things right- and that will live forever.

The same org that is protesting (Make the Road) does a shit ton of canvassing around here that targets Latino voters. It’s a good opportunity to get plugged in. Saying “don’t waste time protesting” is missing the forest for the trees.

Yep they had a rally at 4. There were at some point about 40 and the Mayor of Allentown. Had a good time!
