Hundreds of Thousands Expected to Join 'Historic Nationwide Mobilization' on Eve of Trump Impeachment Vote

"The night before the House of Representatives takes a historic vote to impeach Trump," progressive groups said of the anticipated action, "we'll head to every congressional office and public square to declare that nobody is above the law."

A coalition of progressive advocacy groups on Friday announced plans for a "historic nationwide mobilization" across the U.S. on the eve of the House's yet-to-be-scheduled vote on articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.

Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets around the country, said the "Nobody Is Above the Law" coalition, which includes MoveOn, Public Citizen, Indivisible, and Stand Up America, as well as more than a dozen other organizations.

"Sievers said some demonstrators would be heading to congressional offices across their states, while others would be rallying in public squares."

"It will look different in Miami than it will in Northern Minnesota," he said. Meanwhile, "in New York City, they'll be gathering in kind of Central Manhattan and marching."

"The fact that people in states with cooler temperatures, such as New York, are willing to brave the cold winter weather to protest, Sievers said, should signal "the level of civic outrage there is."

"Late December is not exactly your ideal weather," he said. "Americans are mobilizing to protect American democracy."
