The leaders of Democracy Spring, a George Soros-backed, far-left coalition planning mass civil disobedience, told Breitbart News they have 2,912 protesters who have pledged specifically to risk arrest.
The protesters have signed an option on the coalition’s website stating, “I pledge to be one among thousands who will risk arrest to save democracy in DC between April 11 – 16.”
From Breitbart:
Kai Newkirk, Democracy Spring’s campaign director, explained that his team called each of the 2,912 protesters pledging to risk arrest and spent about twenty minutes on the phone expounding on the movement’s goals as well as helping to coordinate travel and logistics.
“People are coming from Montana, Seattle, and other states around the country,” Newkirk told Breitbart News in a phone interview. “They are driving, taking buses, flying, because there are so many people from across the political spectrum that are just tired of the status quo of a democracy that works for the super rich and not for the everyday American. They want to take this stand to say enough.”
Newkirk said he is “confident” that “if Congress doesn’t respond to our demands and they would rather send people to jail, then it will be the largest civil disobedience of the century.”
“We are committed to non-violence,” he stressed. “That is the principle of our campaign.”
Newkirk’s statements were affirmed by Peter James Callahan, communications director for Democracy Spring, who joined Newkirk on the phone for the Breitbart News interview.
Democracy Spring will begin on April 2 at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. The group then plans to march across the East Cost and have a sit-in in Washington, DC, starting April 11.
The official website of the group reads:
Our collective demand to Congress is that it take immediate action to end the corruption of big money in politics and ensure free & fair elections in which every American has an equal voice. We have identified at least four reform bills that are already pending before Congress as exemplary actions that can be taken. These include proposed legislation that would implement robust small-dollar citizen-funded elections, combat voter suppression, and empower citizens with universal suffrage; it will also introduce a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United.
The coalition is made up of the same anti-Trump groups we saw during the chaos in Chicago earlier in the month that caused GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump to cancel his rally.
The group is backed by numerous organizations, including the George Soros-funded groups MoveOn.org, the Institute for Policy Studies, and Demos, reports Breitbart.
Despite being backed by billionaire George Soros, Democracy Spring complains that “American elections are dominated by billionaires and big money interests who can spend unlimited sums of money on political campaigns to protect their special interests at the general expense.”
The group claims to be non-violent, but considering the chaos that erupted in Chicago involving the same group of people, it seems that violence might be unavoidable.

Soros is responsible for the actions of his PAID AGENTS.
Enough from that delusional oligarch already.
“Saving democracy”? These people are taking a long hard crap on it! It amazes me that these disturbances are admitted to and no one presses charges on Soros and Co. for disturbing the peace. If Trump is THAT bad, then why don’t they just let him have his say if they are so confident America will reject his message? That’s just it- they don’t want his message spread further hence the “protests” at his events. These “protests”are designed to trigger violence on the part of Trump supporters so the media can play up the SINGLE reaction from a Trump supporter instead of the HUNDREDS of instances of violence on the part of these Soros idiots!
Have you’ve seen what Soros did to Syria, Lyibia, Yemen, Europe, Ukarine, Russia ect?? We should be very concerned about this development.
Soros is a capitalist right-wing conservative using his wealth to add to the chaos generated by the elites during these staged three-party faux 2016 elections. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that Soros is part of the fascist bureau of instigations plot to overthrow the constitution using corporate funding to destroy the last vestiges of free speech and the right to assemble. Everyone knows that there is no “democracy” in this country it is a corporate oligarchy run for the welfare state of corporations and their faux one world program which is another false concept that is nothing more than piracy posing as a free market economy. The faux leftist labeling is funded by right-wing conservative business men like Soros, and their world wide plague of power wielding capitalists.
You are wrong about that he is no right wing anything
Trump will out maneuver them and he will do it peacefully. Soros pays for provacteers.
Trump is all about bringing the U.S. back to it’s past glory days – and will end the fed (this my prediction).
Your prediction is only based on your own preferences.
I get “visions” in front of my eyes, foretelling the future. Trump will be the GOP nominee. Don’t know about the President, haven’t got a vision yet, but I will vote for him.
If they dont remove the evil government, Americans will all die in the planned WW3!
The entire government are evil treasonous criminals. The day of the next false flag using the nuke they stole in 2007 and blamed on Iran, America will be destroyed by Russia, China and the SCO. This is the war of Armageddon and you can know it is now because of Planet X and the toxic chemtrails that hide it every day. Planet X will end the war when it rips the earth apart again but 90% of Americans will be dead already. All planned by your evil government.
You live up to your Internet moniker namesake.
Just eat a snickers, your not yourself without a snickers.
Thank you for your video.
Wow, faculty lounge swagger. They know they’ll be treated with kid gloves and have attorneys lined up to spring them within minutes of standing in a jail cell.
These people are about as brave as the Mullahs that stand behind a pulpit and send their substrate believers to suicide bomb innocent civilians.
Most PhD’s used grants and assistantships to worm their way through grad school and emerge as tenured professors and little gods in their isolated Peter Pan Never Never Land campuses.
Many are jealous of the commodities trader or stupid to do it themselves.
Soros has his grubby dirty hands in everything wrong with America and these young people are such suckers! What I want to know is why no one has figured out a way to take him down. Soros is the corruption
No he is right-wing, in any meaningful definition. He is a capitalist who support brutal inequality, same with all those animals in the establishment DNC. It’s called psudo-leftism, all the SJWs? Actual leftists hate them more than you do. BTW, we are SO unequal now, even Libertarians and civil nationalists are left our political center. Remember left and right are simply about which direction you move towards, egalitarianism vs egoism… Soros? He wants a one world government that he owns, that we work and capitalists keep all our surplus labour, you accept his propaganda at face value. Guess what else, The actual left will probably support Trump if Hillary is the DNC candidate. Why? Trump would lead to more money downstream if he fights trade deals, and NWO, or at least they can’t buy him. Start talking with people across the lines, stop following MSM, and realize your allies are working class people not capitalists.
