AVAAZ
calls for rebellion
Dear
fellow global citizens,
The
unimaginable has happened. President Trump.
And
the horror won't end there - the racist right is rising worldwide,
unless we stop them.
Don't
think it can't happen where you live? Everyone thought Trump was a
joke. Now he's a nightmare with nuclear codes.
It's
time to take our responsibility seriously. Our children's futures are
on the line. This is an emergency call to every person of conscience
on this planet to ACT. I want to be straight with you about what I
honestly think is the most powerful thing we can do:
Build
this movement.
Avaaz
is everything the ethno-nationalists are not, and everywhere they
are. We contacted over 2 million US swing-state voters in this
election, but it wasn't enough. To win this fight, we need to be
bigger and stronger, to deepen our connection and commitment. So
today, we launch our first formal membership drive. Click below to
become an Avaaz member, and let's get serious about saving the world:

Beneath
an image of a Bernie Sanders T-shirt, the ad, which was posted on
Tuesday morning, reads, “Paid positions for protesters at the Trump
rally.”
“Shuttle
buses, parking, signs, and hourly pay available. $15 an hour due to
economic inequality. Meet at 3300 W. Tripp Road, Jainesville, WI
53548 for pre-protest instructions and to get your time card.”
But
is the ad genuine?
One
respondent on Facebook noted that the meet-up location was 10 miles
from the site of Trump’s event at the Jainesville Holiday Inn.
While
that’s true, it’s still only a 16 minute drive, which is
presumably why transportation was offered to bus the protesters to
the rally.
The
sight of protesters being paid right in front of Trump supporters
would also be something that organizers would obviously be keen to void.
Google
maps shows
that the meet-up spot, 3300 W. Tripp Road, is a parking lot in a
remote location.
The
Craigslist ad was subsequently deleted after it began to receive
attention on pro-Trump forums.
Whether
the ad is real or not, we know that at least some anti-Trump
protesters were recruited via a Craigslist ad before the march at
Trump Tower in New York City earlier this month.
Writing
for the Daily Caller,
former Trump advisor Roger Stone revealed, “Infiltrating the crowd,
I learned most were from MoveOn or the Occupy movement. Soap was
definitely in short supply in this crowd. Several admitted answering
a Craig’s list ad paying $16.00 an hour for protesters.”
MoveOn,
which is funded by billionaire George Soros, also took credit
forcausing
the cancellation of Trump’s rally in Chicago back
on March 11 after hundreds of Bernie Sanders supporters infiltrated
the event and staged violence which the media later blamed on Donald
Trump.
Following
the riots in Chicago, left-wing groups vowed
to stage mass civil disobedience at
Trump rallies across the country beginning in April.
