Supporters of President Donald Trump are planning marches in Washington, D.C. over the weekend following a close presidential election and subsequent claims of voter fraud by the president.

Activists are planning to hold a #StopTheSteal rally Saturday at the Freedom Plaza in the nation’s capital. The hashtag is a reference to claims made by the president and his supporters that there was voter fraud that impacted the election.

The Maga Million March will also be held at the Freedom Plaza Saturday. Some are planning to march from the Supreme Court to the White House, according to WUSA9 News. (RELATED: 10 Demonstrations Could Happen During Election Week In DC, National Parks Service Says)


The Freedom Plaza can only hold about 13,000 people, the National Park Service estimates. It is unclear how many Trump supporters and counter-protesters will show up to the event.

President Trump has made repeated claims about voter fraud undermining the integrity of the presidential election, particularly with the increased use of mail-in ballots. Many Republican leaders have joined him in calling for investigations into the alleged fraud or called for recounts in states where the results were close.

The left-wing group Refuse Fascism is planning a counter-protest Saturday, WUSA9 reports. They plan to arrive at the Freedom Plaza 30 minutes before the Maga Million March, but organizers said that the counter-protest will be non-violent.

“We are gathering non-violently,” Lucha Bright of Refuse Fascism told WUSA9. “We are not intending to engage them. We want to overwhelm them with our numbers.”

“If they attack us, that is not out of the realm of possibilities of what they do,” Bright added. “But we are hoping, especially if we gather in large numbers, that we will overwhelm them with our strength.”

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said during a Tuesday morning press conference that she still recommends that businesses remove the plywood that was set up in anticipation of post-election unrest, according to WUSA9.

“We continue to follow those activities and be prepared for those activities,” Bowser said of the Trump rallies, WUSA9 reported. “Our police chief will have a similar posture this weekend as he did last week and we will be there to support peaceful exercise of first amendment demonstrations.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
