KC Labor Day Protest Rallies Hundreds Against Missouri Redistricting

Once again locals united near the Country Club Plaza to express opposition against the Trump Administration and Missouri's Republican Party. 

Some mainstream news reports confirm about 500 but the crowd easily reached about 2,000 at its height. 

One thing NOBODY ELSE will mention . . . It was ALMOST COMPLETELY WHITE. Only a few union reps from the East side bothered to attend and TKC noticed relatively few Latinos in the crowd.  

Nevertheless . . .

It was an important gathering and it's good to pay attention whenever people get off of the couch and into the street.

Here's a bit of progressive promo and a roundup of local coverage . . .  

Joining anti-Trump rallies across the country on Labor Day, workers, civil rights advocates and ordinary citizens gathered at Mill Creek Park Fountain on the Plaza. The Kansas City protests took aim at the president’s effort to maintain Republican control of Congress by altering blue districts to favor his party.

More than 500 loud and energetic protestors lined 47th Street, Broadway Blvd., and snaked around the Mill Creek Fountain Park up Main Street, bobbing placards and signs reading “Save Democracy,” “End Gerrymandering,” and “Hands Off Our Districts.”
