Wow great great speech. It’s time we all stand up to Trump. But we have to be nonviolent that’s how we win. Violence only hurts the cause. Make your voice heard but no violence. California we are good strong people we have to protect one another no matter where you are from. We have many, many good people here who are immigrants that don’t deserve to be treated this way. People we have all worked with, hung out with and even lived next to who have never caused any problems. But in Trumps racist eyes they are all criminals. We have to stand and protect all. But we also have to do this with no violence. Violence only gives them cause to do more damage. We can stop them I believe this in my heart.

For all those who attend any event where Trump is, just turn your back on him. Look away from him. It cannot be seen as threatening, but it communicates dismissal, rejecting, banishment... and the more who turn away, the larger the demonstration is. Just being a body there even if you are opposing him, counts as 'people in support' because a picture does not show what you are shouting. Trump is very 'sensitive' and this would hurt him. Just as it hurt him when people were leaving his rallies early.

One question. When the NG is using flash band and rubber bullets how do u suppose we protest w/o violence? I say violence is obviously necessary. It seems to be the only way. Is to take them out b4 they take us out. Its what they are asking for by doing trumps bidding and not the citizens.

Turn your back on them. Sit down. If they want to move you, make them carry you.
