Anti-war activists gathered in front of the White House Wednesday afternoon following President Trump's Iran address encouraging him to de-escalate the situation. They praised Iran for notifying the United States before bombing military bases in retaliation for the killing of Qasem Soleimani and cite it as evidence that a peaceful resolution is possible.

"Gay, straight, black white, all unite to fight the right!" Today a coalition of activists including the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Party for Socialism and Libertarian (PSL) and ANSWER Coalition came together to oppose a nationalist rally expected to occur at Long Beach. The nationalists, who called themselves "United Patriot Nation Front" were expected to rally at Bluff Park, but never showed up. "They decided not to show up," one activist with PSL told News2Share. "We think that's largely because of the hard work that was done by organizers in Long Beach to mobilize community self-defense against the white nationalists." "Cops go home! We can handle this alone!" was among the coalition's chants. A big theme of the event was the concept of community defense rather than relying on the police, who they largely see as siding with the right wing. Without any nationalists present to oppose, the group used the time and platform to host their own speakers. "You can't come to Long Beach if you're a white nationalist... no way in hell!" said one speaker, who described white nationalism as a "remix of white supremacy."

Students marched in front of the White House Friday morning, skipping class in a "strike" for the environment. "A livable future is not a partisan issue," one activist said. He claims "corrupt politicians" and "fossil fuel billionaires" have managed to frame environmental causes as "extreme." Prominent Swedish environmental student activist Greta Thunberg attended. She said she was "so incredibly grateful" for the large turnout and promoted another action on September 20th.
