As tens of thousands of Republicans arrive in Milwaukee on Monday for their party’s convention, another large gathering is expected just outside the official meeting site: Thousands of left-leaning protesters, some of whom have spent the last two years preparing for this moment, will march in opposition to the Republicans’ platform and their nominee, Donald J. Trump.
More than 120 groups have joined a Coalition to March on the R.N.C.
2024, and organizers say they expect as many as 5,000 people to take to the streets of downtown Milwaukee for a march and rally on Monday.
“With all the developments with Biden, that makes Trump a much more imminent threat, and that’s going to increase our numbers,” said Omar Flores, a protest coalition leader.
“People see the urgency in taking this on.”
