The demonstration is scheduled to begin at noon at the Oregon Capitol, 900 Court St. N.E. according to organizers. It’s being coordinated by 50501, a nationwide movement that has organized several off mass anti-Trump demonstrations.

The Saturday event is in protest of “increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies,” organizers said in an email. It’s scheduled to run until 3 p.m.
