Facebook-Organized Protests to Face Off at Trump's MO Speech

Up to two thousand anti-Trump activists are expected to join forces at a local Teamsters Union hall, then march off to protest the president’s speech at a Springfield, MO company on Wednesday. But, another group of Missourians is organizing to help keep the peace. Both events are being organized on Facebook.

The anti-Trump rally, dubbed “The People’s Protest,” is being organized by eight member organizations:

Indivisible STL Resist
Resisters
Missouri 2nd District for Change
Indivisible St. Louis
Springfield Indivisible
The Emerging Church
MOmentum: Missouri Moving Forward
NARAL Pro Choice Missouri

Meanwhile, a group calling itself Patriots Protecting Trump is recruiting Missourians to ensure the event is not disrupted by violent factions of the ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter (BLM) movements:
