WHITE PLAINS, NY — On the Sunday before the U.S. House of Representatives votes to impeach Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, activists will join Rep. Eliot Engel, D-Westchester/Bronx, at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza as part of the nationwide “Nobody Is Above the Law” rallies. The White Plains event will be one of hundreds occurring nationwide in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., according to organizers.

The mobilization is part of a massive, grassroots effort to ensure Congress holds Donald Trump accountable for using military aid to pressure Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 elections. Protestors will demand that the House of Representatives fulfills its constitutional duty by impeaching Donald Trump and that the Senate removes him from office for attempting to rig the 2020 elections. Congress must show that no one — including the president — is above the law.

Participants will rally at the MLK statue at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. plaza in White Plains at 3 p.m. Sunday.
