Thousands of veterans are expected to descend on the National Mall on Friday afternoon in protest of President Donald Trump‘s attempts to slash the federal and revamp the executive branch.
NowMarch, one of the leading organizers of the event, disseminated fliers on social media marketing the march as a “Capitol protest against our unconstitutional government” and called for a “National Strike Day” on Friday.
The demonstration was planned for March 14 as a symbolic reference to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars those who engage in insurrection from office. The group previously protested from Jan. 3 to Jan. 5 ahead of Trump’s impending inauguration and the electoral vote certification, citing the same amendment.
