While Trump Spends Big On America’s 250th, Communities Protest Across Major Cities
Over 80 organizations protested the 4th of July across 9 major cities as part of a National Week of Action called for by the International League of Peoples' Struggle - US (ILPS-US) to highlight 250 years of resistance to U.S. empire. While the Trump administration has spent over $68 million in taxpayer money on "America 250" and "Freedom 250" celebrations, communities took action to share the real history of the U.S.' violence against the people and the active legacy of communities fighting for justice and freedom.
