Refuse Fascism dot Org rallied at the Trump International in Columbus Circle today to demand that the Trump/Pence admin respect the will of the voters and get out of the White House. In a nod to the quarter million COVID-19 deaths, the group deposited “body bags” on the sidewalk outside the hotel entrance on Central Park West. The demonstration was monitored by dozens of NYPD officers but no interactions with demonstrators were observed. Hotel security stood guard atop the short flight of steps leading up to the hotel. Some people seated at outdoor cafe tables just a few yards away from the entrance seemed oblivious to the mobilization. Before long the demonstration gathered up the “body bags” and retraced steps back to the southwest corner of the Park where it had begun.
