Historical Background

On June 3, 2017, several hundred people participated in a "March for Truth" through downtown Seattle. The March for Truth on Seattle was held in solidarity with other March for Truth protests held on the same day across the country and the world. The nationwide organizers of the protests laid out their four main objectives as follows: 1) An independent commission [to investigate Russian interference in the U.S. election and Russian ties to Donald Trump] must be established, and Congressional investigations should be properly resourced and pursued free of partisan interests; 2) As much information [regarding the investigation} should be made available to the public as possible, and as soon as possible; 3) Congress should require Donald Trump to release his tax returns to clarify his business interests and obligations to any foreign entity; 4) If crimes were committed or if collusion is discovered, it must be prosecuted.

The Seattle march began at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill, and featured speeches and performances by organizer Demi Wetzel, Washington State Senator Bob Hasegawa, Seattle City Council Member Lisa Herbold, Edwin Lindo, Tyler Valentine, Ximena Velazquez-Arenas, Ty Nola, Jamie Margolin, and Daniel Oljavo. Members of various Indivisible groups took part in the march, including Indivisible Tacoma, Indivisible Bainbridge Island, and Indivisible North Seattle. The Free Instruments of Karma marching band led the marchers down East Pine Street, through downtown, and finally to Seattle Center.
