Trump Resistance Roadshow, Earth2Trump, Coming to Tucson on Saturday

TUCSON, Ariz.— Earth2Trump, a cross-country roadshow heading to Washington, D.C., and building a vast network of resistance to incoming President Trump, is coming to Tucson on Saturday, Jan. 7. The tour is organized by the Center for Biological Diversity, which is headquartered in Tucson, in coordination with local groups.

Hundreds of people attended Earth2Trump shows in Seattle, Portland, Oakland and Los Angeles this week. The free shows feature live music, speakers, opportunities to meet other locals in this national movement, and a chance to write a personal message to Trump that will be placed in a giant globe and delivered to Washington, D.C. later this month.

The 16-show tour is heading to the presidential inauguration on Jan. 20 as part of a growing movement of resistance to all forms of oppression and attacks on the environment.

What: The Earth2Trump roadshow of resistance.

When: Saturday, Jan. 7, 2-4:30pm.

Where: 191 E. Toole Ave., Tucson, Ariz., 85701.

The Tucson event will include music performances by Lyla June and Casey Neill. Naelyn Pike from the Apache Stronghold will also be speaking, among others.

“When we all speak together with a single voice of resistance, our power grows – and so do our chances of defeating the Trump administration,” said Blake Kopcho, an organizer with the Center. “People in Tucson will have a crucial role to play in building this movement and we're excited to get there.”

Background 
The Earth2Trump roadshow will rally and empower defenders of civil rights and the environment to resist Trump's dangerous agenda. Stopping in 16 cities on its way to Washington, D.C., it will bring the messages and support of thousands of people to protest at the presidential inauguration.

Each show will give participants a chance to:

  • Sign the national Pledge of Resistance to Trump's dangerous agenda.
  • Write a personalized #Earth2Trump message that will be carried to D.C. in a massive globe and delivered to Trump.
  • Create a huge, viral social media #Earth2Trump messaging campaign.
  • Connect with community members resisting oppression and find out how to join the million people who will protest in Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day.
