On January 20th, a group of activists and community members in Asheville, North Carolina came together to join the national People’s March ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. The rally, held in downtown Asheville, was a show of solidarity with other cities across the country who are standing up against bigotry, racism, and xenophobia.
Participants in the Asheville rally carried signs with messages of love, unity, and resistance. They chanted slogans calling for justice, equality, and peace. Speakers at the event highlighted the importance of grassroots organizing and community mobilization in the face of a new administration that many fear will roll back hard-fought civil rights gains.
The Asheville rally was just one of many events taking place around the country as part of the People’s March, which seeks to send a powerful message to the incoming administration that the American people will not stand idly by while their rights are threatened.
Asheville has a long history of activism and social justice organizing, and the turnout at the rally was a testament to the city’s commitment to standing up for what is right. Organizers are hopeful that the energy and momentum generated at the rally will continue in the days, weeks, and months ahead as they work to protect and defend the rights of all people.
