As the city readies itself for the election in a few days, a number of organizers are planning demonstrations in D.C. on and around November 3.
A group over of over 20 progressive activists and grassroots groups including Common Defense, Faith in Public Life, Stand Up America, and Bend the Arc are putting together the People’s Watch Party at Black Lives Matter Plaza beginning at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
The gathering aims to “make it clear that it’s the voters who decide elections,” according to its website, and will feature jumbotrons projecting the results and local food trucks.
Attendees are asked to wear masks and practice social distancing. They will have extra safety items on hand and “COVID-safe” stations for making signs.

FOX 5 DC Retweeted
Sights and sound from Georgetown, DC this afternoon. Several business owners I spoke with say the risk of violence isn't worth risking. Taking measures to protect their livelihood ahead of Election Day. Many had saved the wood from unrest this summer.
