WASHINGTON — Amid freezing temperatures, demonstrators gathered at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Petworth Sunday afternoon for an “ICE Out For Good” protest. The protest, led by college senior RJ Doroshewitz, was organized by Indivisible, a nationwide organization that “empowers local groups to defend democracy.”
About 100 protesters gathered on all four corners of the intersection for over an hour, waving signs and participating in group-led chants. Many signs encouraged passing drivers to honk in support of the movement. Police cars were parked at every corner of the protest, but no police action occurred.
The George Washington University student led chants with a megaphone, such as “No collaboration, end the occupation.” The megaphone was handed to various protesters throughout the demonstration. One protester used a bongo play along to the beat of the chants.
