PRINCETON, NJ — The Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA), a grassroots citizens organization is hosting a "Protect The Results" rally in Princeton, on Nov. 4.

Coalition for Peace Action is co-hosting the rally along with Invisible Cranbury.

On their website, the group said they are organizing the rally "to honor the valid results of the 2020 election, ensure that every vote is counted, and show up to demand the peaceful transition of power."

Those interested need to register to attend the rally. Attendees are required to wear face masks.

Confirmed speakers at the rally include:

  • Yeimi Hernandez, a 'Dreamer' immigrant to the US

  • Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert

  • Rev. Lukata Mjumbe, Pastor of Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church

  • Rev. Robert Moore, Coalition for Peace Action Executive Director

  • Jeff Tittel, Director of the NJ Sierra Club

"With every tweet and refusal to commit to accepting the legitimate results of the 2020 election, Trump seeks to stoke chaos and fear," the group said.

This year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, states across the US have opted for mail-in voting. President Donald Trump has in the past questioned the validity of mail-in voting. President Trump's campaign, along with the Republican National Committee and the New Jersey Republican Party had filed a lawsuit against New Jersey, saying Gov. Phil Murphy's vote-by-mail executive order violates citizens' right to vote.
