It’s time to take action against Donald Trump, fed-up members of D.C.’s Latino community are saying.

A protest at 12th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW—the site of Trump’s future luxury hotel at the Old U.S. Post Office building—is scheduled for Thursday, July 9. This is in response to Trump’s June 16th presidential announcement speech where he spent time criminalizing Mexican and Latin American immigrants:

“When Mexico brings its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. It’s coming from all of South and Latin America,” Trump said, while promising to build a wall along the U.S’s southern border. He doubled down on the inflammatory remarks yesterday in a three-page statement.

In response to comments, employees of José Andrés’ ThinkFoodGroup have also urged the well-known chef to pull out of a planned restaurant in the hotel.

The protest will run from 1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. and leaders such as Shadow Representative Franklin Garcia and Shadow Senators Paul Strauss and Michael D. Brown are slated to be in attendance.
