(Los Angeles, CA) December 16, 2020 — December 17th at 5:30 PM PST the day before the U.S. House of Representatives votes to impeach Donald Trump for his high crimes and misdemeanors, activists will gather at GRAND PARK across from LOS ANGELES CITY HALL as part of the nationwide “Nobody Is Above the Law” rallies. The Rally in Downtown Los Angeles will be one of the hundreds of actions occurring nationwide in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. This will be Los Angeles’s message to Trump. #ImpeachandRemove

This is a rapid response event scheduled to happen the night before the House takes a vote to impeach. The mobilization is part of a massive, grassroots effort to ensure Congress holds Donald Trump accountable for using military aid to pressure Ukraine to interfere in our 2020 elections. Protestors will demand that the House of Representatives fulfills its constitutional duty by impeaching Donald Trump and that the Senate remove him from office for attempting to rig the 2020 elections. Congress must show that no one—including the criminal in the White House—is above the law.
