Peaceful demonstration called by Sunrise to oppose the 'occupation' in DC

The Sunrise Movement, a youth-led organisation advocating for climate action and political change, has announced a series of student walkouts at four universities in Washington D.C. on Tuesday morning. The universities involved are American University, Georgetown University, George Washington University, and Howard University.

According to the Sunrise Movement's statement, sent to supporters via email, the protest is in response to the Trump administration's takeover of the city's police. The organisation claims that Trump is using the military to intimidate critics and believes that his actions risk making intimidation of critics the new normal.

The Sunrise Movement's statement indicates a sense of urgency about the current situation, suggesting that Trump's actions could have lasting effects. The organisation also claims that Trump is targeting Black people, immigrants, the homeless, and anyone who doesn't fit his image of America.

Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) are expected to appear at the Georgetown event on Tuesday morning. No other specific details about the protests at the other universities were provided.

The Georgetown event is scheduled for Tuesday morning, and the students are planning to walk out of classes to protest the federal occupation of Washington, D.C. The Sunrise Movement's statement is a call to action, implying that action is needed to prevent the normalization of these actions.

The Sunrise Movement's statement does not specify which actions of Trump's they are referring to, but it does suggest that Trump's actions are intended to target specific groups of people. The organisation's concerns echo those of many who fear the impact of the Trump administration's policies on marginalised communities.

The protest is expected to be a significant demonstration of student activism in the nation's capital, and it will be interesting to see how the Trump administration responds. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
