Peaceful Protest Planned Outside Hotel Where Trump To Be Endorsed By NEPBA Tomorrow

Source: NH Labor News

PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE–Those who plan to visit the Sheraton Harborside in Portsmouth tomorrow, when Donald Trump will address a meeting of the New England Police Benevolent Association, can expect to see people holding signs bearing messages such as “Love is Stronger than Hate,” “We Welcome Refugees,” and “Love Your Neighbor.”

Donald Trump is making national headlines as he pushes a fascist, racist agenda calling for a registry of all Muslims. Trump also wants to close the borders to all Muslims, even those who are serving our country overseas.

The NEPBA plans to announce their endorsement for President during this meeting. It was reported today that the NEPBA will most likely endorse Donald Trump for President.

“There is too much toxic rhetoric in the current political discourse,” said Maggie Fogarty, co-director of the American Friends Service Committee’s (AFSC) New Hampshire Program, which is organizing the activity with Occupy Seacoast. “We feel a need to be visible in public at this time with a message that calls for the building of bridges between peoples, not the construction of walls.”

Is there any doubt left that it's no longer in your best interest to trust a cop?

If there are any of these "good cops" left, let them speak out against this endorsement NOW or forever lie with the dogs...
