Penn State Student Groups Announce Protests Against Donald Trump Rally
Two Penn State student groups, the People’s Defense Front and the Student Committee for Defense and Solidarity, have announced plans to protest Donald Trump’s campaign rally at the Bryce Jordan Center on Saturday, October 26.
The group plans to meet at 2 p.m. on Saturday at the corner of College Avenue and Garner Street in downtown State College. At 2:30 p.m., the group will march to the rally at the Bryce Jordan Center.
“Workers and students, we must unite to take a stand against white supremacy, queerphobia, and Zionism that Trump seeks to unleash on State College with his visit on Saturday!!” the announcement read. “It is our duty to defend our communities from racism and hate that Trump’s presence seeks to inflame in State College. Help us protect our communities from such racist violence by protesting Trump’s visit!! Let’s send the message through direct action that Trumpism is not welcome here!! No Trump, No KKK, No Fascists in PA!!”
The two groups have worked on protests in State College in the past. Notably, the groups organized a pro-Palestine rally that filled the streets of downtown State College. The organizations will also protest an Uncensored America event featuring Milo Yiannopoulos and Martin Shkreli on Monday, October 28, at the Bryce Jordan Center.
