I will add more cities/info as I find them or as they are posted.

New York City:

• Mourning the Presidency: A Mock Funeral for President’s Day 2/18 from 12-2:30 at Washington Square Arch.
  
  This New Orleans-style mock funeral will be taking place by the Washington Square Arch tomorrow beginning at noon. The demonstration, organized by Rise and Resist and Gag Is Watching, is meant to represent “the rebirth of the Presidency dedicated to the service of all peoples and ‘sacred fire of liberty’ that President George Washington swore to uphold." Participants are encouraged to come dressed in all-black or as a favorite past President.
  
• Today, I Am a Muslim Too: A Day of Solidarity 2/19 from 12-4pm at Times Square
  
  This rally will be a day of solidarity in support of equality and tolerance for American Muslims. The event will take place in the middle of Times Square and feature Russell Simmons, Imam Shamsi Ali, Rabbi Marc Schneier, Daisy Khan, Linda Sarsour and other leaders.
  
• Not My President’s Day 2/20 from 12-4pm at Columbus Circle/59th street.
  
  On President’s Day itself, protestors will be gathering at Central Park West and Columbus Circle for a demonstration. (Find more directions on how to get to the site on the official Facebook page.) The rally is being stage to denounce Trump’s policies on immigrants, border wall, travel ban, pipeline approval, women’s health restrictions and failure to address climate change.

Los Angeles:

• Free the People Immigrant March 2/18 from 11-2:30pm at Pershing Square.
  
  Since Trump's inauguration, our communities have been met with the exacerbation of raids, Muslim bans, hate crimes and criminalization.
  
  Trump has unleashed vicious attacks against indigenous, Black (im)migrant, refugee, Muslims, women, poor, working class and LGBTQI+ communities and other oppressed communities. We invite everyone to join us as we unite around those being attacked. We stand with and elevate the voices of the undocumented, Black, Brown, trans, queer, Muslim communities who are leading the way in the resistance.
  
• Not My President's Day 2/20 from 9-1pm at City Hall.
