Reasons For Peaceful Protests

Organizers say they are protesting ICE, occupation, fascism, and cuts to services.

"Stand with Veterans as we march, rally, and refuse to allow growing fascism to be normalized. Together we say NO this Veterans Day - no to ICE, no to occupation, no to fascism, and no to cuts stripping away life-saving services our communities need," organizers say about the protest in New York.

Organizers are emphasizing nonviolent action and ask that no weapons, even legally permitted ones, be brought to the events.
