JANESVILLE — The Town Hall Coalition will hold a protest on Tuesday, Jan. 20, to mark the one-year anniversary of the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
The demonstration will be at the corner of U.S. Highways 14 and 26 (Humes Road and Milton Avenue) in Janesville from 4-5 p.m. on Tuesday.
“This protest is intended to be a peaceful expression of dissatisfaction and outrage — as protected by the Constitution — with the acts of the Trump administration,” a release said. “The themes will be mourning and anti-fascism. Black outerwear is encouraged.”
“The Trump administration has been committing unconstitutional and dangerous acts since Jan. 20, 2025. More than 30 have died while being detained by ICE. Two were killed on the streets: Keith Porter and Renee Good,” coalition member Edie Baran said in the release.
“These actions, among many others, are causing more divisiveness among us at a time when we really need to be united. Trump and his cabinet and secretaries are the true domestic terrorists, creating chaos on our streets and fear and anger in our hearts. I applaud all the people from coast to coast who are speaking up, who are marching on our streets, who are standing brave.”
Jan. 20 is also the day that national organizations, such as the 50501 Movement, are calling for a “Free America Walkout,” in which people walk out of their daily routines.
Free America events are scheduled at 710 W Starin Road in Whitewater, from 3-4:30 p.m. and at 1931 Geneva St. in Delavan from 12:15-1:15 p.m. according to the 50501 Movement’s website.
Town Hall Coalition also participates in twice-a-week protests at 3:30 p.m. Wednesdays in front of U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil’s office on South Main Street in Janesville and on Fridays in front of the U.S. Post Office on Milton Avenue.
