Hours before President Donald Trump delivered his joint address to Congress on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, an anti-Trump demonstration unfolded near the United States Capitol, organized by RefuseFascism.org. The group, which identifies the Alliance for Global Justice as its fiscal sponsor on its website, has financial ties to the Open Society Foundations, a prominent organization funded by billionaire George Soros and his family.
Exclusive footage captured by Loomer Unleashed revealed protesters wielding signs likening President Trump to Adolf Hitler, alongside messages opposing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), supporting illegal immigration, and advocating for transgender policies. The demonstration, staged at Lower Senate Park, coincided with Trump’s highly anticipated speech.
RefuseFascism.org promoted the event on X, sharing a video of co-founder Sunsara Taylor addressing the crowd. The accompanying post stated: “Resistance that stops where sacrifice starts: that’s not resistance, that’s accommodation.@SunsaraTaylor co-founder of Refuse Fascism outside the capital before Trump delivered his snarling bloody-jawed Nazi speech to Congress. Step into the struggle: http://RefuseFascism.org.”
Another post from the group declared, “Tonight Trump speaks to Congress to boast about his ‘accomplishments’—right now we’re rallying at Lower Senate Park to say: NO! In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America! The Fascist Trump Regime Must Go! Sign-up: http://RefuseFascism.org Venmo: Refuse-Fascism.”
RefuseFascism.org’s donation page reinforces its connection to the Alliance for Global Justice, encouraging tax-deductible contributions through its fiscal sponsor, a registered 501(c)(3) entity. Records from the Open Society Foundations confirm that the Alliance for Global Justice received a $250,000 grant in 2020, highlighting the financial backing from Soros-affiliated entities.
Inside the Capitol, Democrat lawmakers echoed the protesters’ divisive rhetoric. At a separate rally hosted by the Association of Federal Government Employees on Tuesday, Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) told Loomer Unleashed he would boycott Trump’s address, stating, “Trump is the most divisive leader we have ever had… building on hate.” Beyer’s remarks came in response to a question about whether his boycott exacerbated national divisions.
Meanwhile, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) stood firm on Wednesday morning, refusing to apologize for her actions during Trump’s speech. When pressed by Loomer Unleashed for an apology, Tlaib deflected, alleging without evidence that Trump planned to slash Americans’ healthcare. During the address, Tlaib displayed a whiteboard falsely implying that the president had evaded taxes.
The synchronized efforts of congressional Democrats and the Capitol protesters underscore a shared strategy, employing provocative language and unsubstantiated claims to challenge Trump’s leadership.
