DC Protesters Slam Trump's Fascist Triumphal Arch
A group of 50 used puppets and a fake arch to deliver the point that Americans are against the "Arc de Trump."
A protest against Trump's proposed 250-foot Triumphal Arch took place in Washington, DC, on November 5, 2022, outside the National Capital Planning Commission's final meeting. The arch, which would stand near the Lincoln Memorial and John F. Kennedy Eternal Flame, has faced opposition from various stakeholders, including district court judges, lawmakers, and veterans.
Despite the NCPC approving the project in an 8-4 vote, a judge granted a 14-day restraining order to halt construction. Protesters, organized by Third Act DC, voiced concerns about the arch's potential infringement on the architectural and spiritual significance of the area.
