Washington DC – On Saturday, November 22 tens of thousands of people gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial to demand Congress: “Impeach, Convict and Remove” the president from office. The Remove The Regime rally was created by The Removal Coalition whose members include comedian Cliff Cash and the FLARE organization.
Cliff Cash refers to himself as the “accidental activist” and spoke on January 3, 2025 at a protest demanding members of Congress to invoke the 3rd article in the 14th amendment to invalidate the electoral college’s results. Then he created the website DonaldLovesVladimir.com and ran trucks with billboards on them around DC and West Palm Beach. Recently he created Epsteinsbestfriend.com and ran trucks with Epstein billboards. He also helped to form the FoxTakedown.com to call out Fox News for spreading propaganda instead of the truth. Fox News is an entertainment channel pretending to be a legitimate news channel.
FLARE is an entirely volunteer-powered movement located mere blocks from the Capitol in Washington D.C. Their Resistance Action Center is the only continuously operating, 24/7 effort to dismantle the 47th President’s fascist regime.They are a nonviolent, antifascist collective working toward and beyond the impeachment, conviction and removal of the president. The public is welcome to stop by and see them any time at the white tents in front of Union Station. If you need help getting to DC or can chip in to help someone else go to DC go to

The Removal Coalition created an inspiring event on Saturday with inspiring speakers and musicians. Earth To Eve sang her “Have You Heard The News Today” while people in the crowd wiped tears from their eyes as they were reminded of the people being separated from their families and being hurt by the current regime. The Dropkick Murphies sang “Who’ll Stand With Us” as the crowd cheered them on. Check out this video to hear them and see some of the signs and costumes people had: https://tinyurl.com/2025RemoveTheRegime.
Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn encouraged the crowd not to give up and to keep on working to save our democracy. He said that he understood that people were tired and said that he too was tired. He pointed to his fellow former Capitol Police Officer Michael Farone, who had previously spoken at the rally, and said that the two of them were tired. He told them that they would quit when they did. Then he said: “Spoiler alert, we’re not going to quit!” and the crowd went wild with cheers.
One protester who had never been to a protest in DC before said that she was glad that she came. She felt safe and was happy to be in a crowd of like minded people who love this country. Veterans and people from across the country traveled to attend the rally. They came from Alaska, Alabama and other states. On Thursday afternoon, a woman told her husband she wanted to go to the rally. Six hours later, they had done laundry, packed their bags and picked up a rental car to hit the road. They power-drove for 23 hours from Texas to DC.
Congressman Al Green pledged at the rally to file articles to impeach the president. To find more about the movement to impeach the president and the reasons why go to: https://www.impeachtrumpagain.org/
