Bombshell Monroe, left, and Silver Ware Sidora, are from Washington, D.C., and wanted to turn out to the People’s March to show solidarity with groups that may be targeted under Trump.
“When one person’s right or one group is under attack, we’re all under attack. And that’s why we’re here, fighting for ourselves, for our allies, for the other people that are under attack, as well. They deserve that solidarity and that fight,” Monroe said.
Sidora added, “We are two Black, queer, trans drag artists; we’d be stupid not to be out here, to be completely honest, because if they start knocking people over the head, we’re going to be some of the first people to go.”
On the opposite end of the political spectrum, brothers Jacob and Luke Pembroke showed up at 7:30 a.m. in hope of getting into the Trump rally at Capital One on Sunday.
“We were hoping to get in … to see Mr. Trump, but by the looks of it I don’t think we’re going to get there, so we’re going to head out and go get some food and sit down after being out here for nine hours,” Jacob said.
