Pro-Impeachment Rallies Set For Dec. 17, 18 In DC, Virginia

WASHINGTON, DC — With the U.S. House of Representatives expected to vote on impeachment Wednesday, the progressive group MoveOn.org is calling for pro-impeachment rallies and events across the country. Multiple "Nobody Is Above The Law" rallies are slated for Tuesday evening throughout the Washington, D.C., area. A rally at the U.S. Capitol building is set for Wednesday morning.

Last week, two articles of impeachment against President Donald J. Trump were approved by a House panel. The articles accuse the president of abuse of power linked to the Ukraine scandal and obstruction of Congress, alleging that Trump "has directed the unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of subpoenas issued by the House of Representatives pursuant to its 'sole Power of Impeachment.'"

According to Impeach.org, these events are slated for Tuesday and Wednesday across Virginia and DC:

• Rally for Impeaching Trump: Tuesday, December 17 at 5:30 p.m., on a public sidewalk in Woodbridge, Virginia (Find directions if you sign up to attend.)
• Impeach Trump Vigil: Tuesday, Dec. 17 at 5:30 p.m., at the Gainesville Gateway Center in Gainesville, Virginia
• #MARCHTOIMPEACHANDREMOVE: Tuesday, Dec. 17, at 5:30 p.m., in the parking lot of the Macy's Short Pump Town Center in Henrico, Virginia.
• Washington, D.C.: A larger pro-impeachment rally will take place outside the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, Dec. 18, at 9 a.m. If the vote is moved from Wednesday to Thursday, the event will also be on Thursday. Those involved will hold a press conference in front of the U.S. Capitol Building on the Senate side.
