UPDATE: 236% increase in hate crimes? ALL Democratic Candidates should hold counter-rallies against Trump. OMG, we need to speak up more and Rally after his fearmongering everywhere he goes. Our candidates can take the fight right to Trump NOW.
After President Trump announced he’d be holding another of his crazy, fear-mongering rallies in El Paso Texas earlier this year, Beto O’Rourke stepped up and organized a large protest rally across town. It was “attended by thousands that pushed back against President Donald Trump's contention that El Paso was a dangerous city and a border wall was needed to protect it -- and the nation.”

Trump’s back in Texas tonight, holding one of his crazy rallies at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
And once again, Beto stepped up, organized and mobilized Texans from all over the state to protest Trump’s fearmongering in his state.
Beto’s Rally Against Fear dueling rally is being held just 14 miles away in Grand Prairie.
"This is all about Texans of good conscience — Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and those who don’t identify politically — coming together to stand up against fear, hatred, racism, and intolerance and to stand up for this country at our defining moment of truth," O'Rourke said in a Wednesday statement. "Everyone is welcome."
Lil’ Keke, Cure for Paronoia, and NuFolk Rebel Alliance will preform at O'Rourke's "Rally Against Fear." The rally is scheduled for 6 p.m. CDT at The Theatre at Grand Prairie.
Democratic Senate candidates challenging Sen. John Cornyn are expected to be in attendance, as well. Those candidates are Royce West, MJ Hegar, Cristina Tzintzn Ramirez, John Love, Michael Cooper, Amanda Edwards and Chris Bell.
Among the those waiting were high school students Olivia Zelling, Emily Kobes and Riley Turner, accompanied by the parents of one of the girls. Zelling, who is 17, got her voter registration card in the mail.
