A Protest Against Donald Trump

As my school made news yet again this year, I felt panicked. How was I supposed react? Students hanging a “build a wall sign”, didn’t directly target me, I am not latino. But as ASB president I am not here to just represent those who look like me, but also

Since the beginning of american history there have been peaceful and non peaceful protests. These protests have had valuable effects on American society such as Martin Luther King Jr and Rosa Parks have impacted society greatly and for the better. In my opinion peaceful protests still have negative effects though they are immensely more appropriate than non peaceful protests because peaceful protests often turn violent because people don't know how to act for example Trump Protests.

The march consisted of all different kinds of people. There were blacks and whites, rich and poor, young and old, and Hollywood stars and normal everyday people.

Despite Salinas being known for the vibrancy of the people, it is notorious for the gang violence. Nevertheless, Salinas holds a pulchritudinous youth group wanting to better their community and end the violence. This group is called the Salinas Valley Dream Academy, where high school students are empowered to strive for higher education and become active participants in the community. The Salinas Valley Dream Academy holds an annual rally based on important topics in our community. Some of the topics during the rally include gang violence, DACA, and the rights of field workers. I have participated in these rallies and know the impact it has made in my community. About one hundred students along with the academy coordinators march the most

What are the experiences of Latina/Latino “Undocumented, Unafraid, and Unapologetic” (UUU) activist living in San Diego County, California under the Trump presidency? By UUU activist, I mean anyone who self-identifies as a Latina/Latino UUU activist, and is advocating, in any capacity, for affordable education for undocumented students, the DREAM act, DACA, and comprehensive immigration reform. Based on in-depth interviews in San Diego County, California, with Latinas and Latinos, over the age of eighteen, who self-identify as UUU activists, I will begin to address this question. A Latina/o critical race framework will guide the current study. The aim of my work is to capture the struggles, motivations, and challenges UUU activist face and

The article states that “more than 1 million people gathered in Washington and in cities around the country… to the inauguration of President Trump (Stein, Hendrix, and Hauslohner 1). These people marched in order to protest the treatment of women, minorities, and immigrants by Trump. They held signs and made their voices heard by people all over the world. This march can be compared to the march of Dr. King and his comrades to seek justice for the unfair treatment of people of color.

Protests riots in the United States has proven to an issue for both the country’s financial strength and the unity of the nation. With the presence of social injustices, combined with the increased impact of social media propaganda, protests riots are beginning to reach an all time high. Protest riots destroy individual communities and businesses, jeopardizes the safety of others and taints the protest’s cause by resorting to civil disobedience. Action must be done in order to prevent these random acts of violence from continuing after every social hot topic. The goal is not to prevent citizens from protesting; in fact, this should be encouraged. The goal is to change the way the protests are handled from both the citizens and authority perspectives, in order to prevent these protests from escalating into something dangerous.

United States is a country that has stated that citizens’ have the right to stand up for what you believe in as long as it does not break the law. That was what the protesters were doing. The protestors wanted someone as their president at Gallaudet University that had an understanding of the student’s needs. The protestors moved the busses, so no one could in because this was their way to try express how they felt and to get their point across. It was the right of the protester to protest what they believed in a way they could get their point across to everyone. No laws were broken; moreover, it got the attention needed to help solve the issue of not having a deaf president. The students wanted someone culturally similar to them. The board telling the students that the running president that could hear was more qualified made it come off as if they felt that a person who is deaf could not reach the same standards of someone that can hear. It expressed a cultural difference in a society that said a person that is deaf cannot be as successful as a person that is hearing because of their different ways of communication. This caused people of the deaf community to practice their rights for freedom of protest and fight for a president that is

The article called, “Walkout: The True Story of the Hispanic 1968 Chicano Student Walkout in East L.A.” by the independent Global News, was an interview for Moctesuma Esparza an award winning film producer and community activist, he is the producer of “Walkout”, a true story in the 1968 in Los Angeles in which he had the privilege to help organize during that time as one of the students, and later on found his passion as a reporter in his successful career. As a consequence of organizing the act of walkouts, he with another 12 other people were under arrested and incarcelated for disturbing the peace. Esparza was an active person in the social civil rights movement of Chicanos by making this movie; he feels blessed to rebirth this social movement

They had to do something, because there was nothing else that people could do, except not attend class to hit the school board’s finances with absences. I believe that was the most peaceful way they could have started the movement. I felt like they did the right thing to stand up not only for themselves, but for the future kids.

“The whole point of the rally was to be more educational then angry,” said Victor Constanza, vice president of CHANGE. “We wanted experiences from all different aspects, people who were impacted, and allies to talk about the immigration issue and we hope the people will remember these stories because not everyone is affected by it, but hopefully they’ll learn and educate themselves.”

On January 21, 2017, millions of women, and even some men, joined together in various cities to march for civil rights. According to the March on Washington’s official website, these people exerted their energy in union to inflict liberation, “joining in diversity to show our presence in numbers.” These citizens were unhappy with the acts and rhetoric of our current federal power holders, and they acted. People of all colors, genders, beliefs, and backgrounds joined together to uphold the rights for marginalized people. In fact, in the Women’s March’s mission they state, “defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us.” As Americans, these people had the right to protest and spread their beliefs, and generated a historic event. Therefore, peaceful resistance to laws is, in fact, an imperative aspect to a free

The protest was created on a Facebook page which in less than four hours 250 people said they were attending. The protest was initially to make the Muslim community at Texas A&M University feel welcomed, but it became a protest for all ethnicities who live in fear because the executive action. Many professors attended this protest, some forced by their families to stand with their students who needed them the most. The first ten days since Donald Trump took office seven executive orders were signed, a few targeting immigrants, or as Trump calls them “Foreign Terrorists”. The article provides information about the protest and how some students disagreed with this protest that happened at Rudder Plaza. I plan to use this source’s information to include the different actions students at this university did to support one another throughout a difficult time for
