\nBut this one would circle the real estate tycoon and the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
\nMijente in Action, a group that calls itself “a new political home for Latinx and Chicanx organizing,” has started a campaign called “Wall Off Trump,” which is raising funds to construct a 15,000- foot banner wall around Cleveland\u2019s Quicken Loans Arena, the site of the 2016 GOP convention.
\n“Latinx” and “Chicanx” are gender-inclusive terms used in place of Latino\/-a and Chicano\/-a.
\n“We\u2019re going to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland and build a literal wall around the Republican National Convention,” Tania Unzueta, an undocumented community organizer with Mijente, said in a recorded message on the fundraising website, Indiegogo. The idea being “to build a wall that protects our community members and defends the people that we love and are part of our families.”
\nAlong with Mijente, the non-profit Ruckus Society, the Iraq Veterans Against the War, the Other 98% and the Working Families Party will be participating in the protest against Trump\u2019s rhetoric toward building a border wall and immigration.
\nTrump has made the border wall a staple of his campaign since Day 1. His call for such hard line immigration policies have earned him the enmity of Latinos and immigrant-rights activists, but it has earned him many supporters among working-class voters.
