A sprawling coalition of far-left organizations is planning what they call the “largest nonviolent mobilization in U.S. history” for Washington, DC, on Nov. 5, an event they openly describe as a campaign to “make governing impossible” for President Donald Trump. It is a type of insurrection. Nov. 5 marks the one-year anniversary of Trump’s election victory, in which he won the popular vote and the electoral college vote.
Partners include Indivisible, the National Organization for Women, United Native Americans, and a host Revolutionary Black Panther Party and the Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity, all groups with a long history of anti-American agitation.
The coalition’s own words leave little doubt about the purpose of the protest. “NOW IS THE TIME WHEN WE MUST RISE UP AND ACT to STOP the CONSOLIDATION of TRUMP MAGA FASCISM,” the organizing call declares. It calls for surrounding “the pillars of power — the White House, Supreme Court, and the Capitol itself” in a continuous protest “until Trump is removed from power.”
In other words, this is not simply a political demonstration. It is an announced attempt to paralyze the federal government and challenge the legitimacy of a duly elected president — a movement that, if carried out as described, bears the unmistakable markings of an insurrection.
The protest, scheduled to begin at 11 am on the National Mall, will be preceded by morning marches to the Heritage Foundation and the Capitol. Organizers are telling supporters to bring day packs, cash, and travel plans for an open-ended stay, vowing not to leave “until Trump is removed from power.”
The “Handmaid Army DC” – a female-led activist group styling itself after the dystopian book and television series The Handmaid’s Tale – will lead the early morning “kickoff action,” beginning at 7:30 am from Union Station. Their slogan: “We won’t let the bastards grind us down.” The “handmaids” like to cosplay as if they are concubines in red gowns with white bonnets.
Groups involved range from the merely activist to the openly revolutionary, including “Good Trouble WNC,” “Resist Trump Campaign,” “Unidad Latina en Accion,” and “October 22 to Stop Police Brutality.” The organizing literature calls for participants to engage in “nonviolent disruption” of the halls of power and “refuse unlawful and inhumane orders.”
Despite the rhetorical nods to “nonviolence,” the call to surround government buildings and make governance “impossible” mirrors the same language used by groups that fueled unrest in 2020.
The organizers’ website, RefuseFascism.org, calls this effort “The Fall of the Trump Fascist Regime” and encourages Americans to “fill the streets and town squares in nonviolent protest — not stopping until this regime is no longer able to maintain its hold on power.”
This is not the language of peaceful petition. It is the vocabulary of revolution and a movement that sees itself as the moral authority above the rule of law, above the majority of voters, and willing to shut down the nation’s capital to achieve political ends.
The activists claim to be defending democracy, yet their stated goal is to overturn the will of tens of millions of voters who lawfully elected President Trump.
By any reasonable measure, the November 5 protest, which includes plans to “surround” the White House and Capitol, is a direct attempt to menace the president. If carried out as described, it would constitute a coordinated act of civil disruption on a scale unseen in modern US history.
The same voices who once cried “insurrection” over Jan. 6, 2021 now appear to be organizing their own sustained siege of the nation’s capital, this time with corporate donors, media allies, and nonprofit infrastructure behind them.
As the organizers themselves declare: “We will not stop until Trump is removed from power.”
That is not protest. That is regime change.
