Outside the convention arena, both pro- and anti-Trump protests and rallies continued Monday, with thousands of people marching to denounce Donald Trump’s presumptive nomination and gathering to hear a concert by Prophets of Rage, a new project of Public Enemy’s Chuck D and Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello. Other activists worked to construct a massive wall to use in a protest later in the week.
LJ Amsterdam: “This is LJ from the Ruckus Society, and I’m here with Mijente in Cleveland at the art convergence space. And we are organizing an action called 'Wall Off Trump.' What we’re going to do is we are building thousands of feet of fabric wall, that’s beautiful and has messages from our communities. And we are encircling the GOP, we’re encircling the convention center. And we are going to show Trump to keep his hate out of our communities.”
Meanwhile, hundreds more people rallied in support of Donald Trump. We’ll have more voices from the street later in the broadcast.
