Approximately 50 students and community members gathered outside the Ohio Union Friday afternoon for a protest held by Ohio Youth for Climate Justice, which targeted issues related to the recent 2024 presidential election.
In its “Rally Against Fascism,” Ohio Youth for Climate Justice — which holds multiple chapters across the state and aims to address the climate crisis with organized radical action, according to its website — came together around 1:12 p.m. to protest the recent re-election of former President Donald Trump, specifically addressing issues like climate change, capitalism, imperialism and white supremacy.
Chants — such as “No KKK, no fascist U.S.A., no Trump” and “one-two-three-four, occupation is no more, five-six-seven-eight, Israel is a terrorist state” — expressed the group’s perception of the growing threat of right-wing extremist ideologies in the United States.
