March for Truth
2017 American protest
The March for Truth was a nationwide anti-Trump protest in support of his impeachment that occurred on Saturday, June 3, 2017, calling for a fair and impartial investigation into the links between Trump associates and Russian officials. Demonstrations were scheduled to place in Washington, D.C., and more than 100 additional cities; publicly called for events in more than 150 US cities. Scheduled speakers included Javier Muñoz and Jill Wine-Banks, as well as other actors and musicians.
01Planning
The organizers for the national event included Jordan Uhl, Megan Mamula, Jimmy Dahman, Andrea Chalupa, and Justin Hendrix. The event started as a small protest planned for Washington, D.C., but grew into a nationwide protest. In Iowa and in other states, local Women's March organizers helped support the planning for the March for Truth. Other groups, such as Indivisible and Public Citizen, were also involved with support for the marches and rallies.
