BOSTON – Boston students are ditching class to protest President-elect Donald Trump by marching on the State House and City Hall to demand social justice.

“We have to organize our young people,” South Boston High School student Gabriela Pereira told The Boston Globe. “Just because we can’t vote doesn’t mean our voice doesn’t matter.”

Students want Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and Gov. Charlie Baker to vow to protect the rights of all immigrants, minorities, women and LBGTQ folks, the Associated Press reports.

Students from area high schools and colleges are expected to leave their classes around 1 p.m. and convene at the Boston Common around 2 p.m., then march on the State House and City Hall to vent their frustrations, according to the Boston Herald.

About 822 of the 5,900 students invited to attend the Boston Student Walk-Out Against Trump on Facebook indicated they plan to attend, and another 1,300 responded that they were “interested.”

“Donald J. Trump will be the next president of the United States and we have the right to protest and stand together against the inexcusable statements he has made about, and the harmful policies he promises to enact against, immigrants, Muslims, black Americans, the disabled, the LGBTQ+ community and women,” the Facebook event description reads.

“WALK-OUT on Monday, December 5th to send a loud and clear message to Donald J. Trump and to ensure our local elected officials commit to protecting and uplifting all residents of Massachusetts for the next four years.”

Students’ stated demands include “protect public education,” “protect vulnerable students and families,” and “denounce (Trump campaign manager) Steve Bannon and white supremacist movements.”

Boston public schools superintendent Tommy Chang posted a video to the district’s Twitter account on Sunday to beg students not to ditch school.

“Hi BPS students. I understand some of you are planning on walking out of school on Monday,” Chang said.

“I want you to know, your voice matters. I encourage you to use that voice, and I encourage you to use that voice on campus,” he said. “Have dialogue on campus with your peers and the adults who care so deeply about you. I’ve seen your demands, and as a city we’ve committed to many of them. We are a city that supports all families from all backgrounds. Divisiveness and discrimination have no place at BPS or the city of Boston.

“Our work in Boston Public Schools in prepare you for college, career and life. Losing classroom time won’t help anyone. There is a time and place for these conversations to happen and peaceful advocacy for what you care about is important, but not during learning time,” he continued.

“So I invite you to help create some opportunities so we all can share our feelings.”

The school district also sent an automated phone message to students and staff informing them that there will be consequences for anyone who leaves class to participate in the protest.

“Students who miss class time will be marked absent for their missed classes,” the message said, according to the Herald. “Families will receive an automated phone call that informs them of these absences.”
