(Jan. 18, 2017, 6:05 a.m.) -- A few hours after Donald Trump takes the oath of office on Friday Jan. 20 and becomes the 45th President of the United States, opponents plan to march and rally in downtown Long Beach while supporters will celebrate at SE LB's iconic 49'rs Tavern.
In a media release, the "May Day Long Beach Coalition" indicates that from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Jan. 20, its supporters will march and rally from Harvey Milk Park (3rd St @ Promenade) to Promenade Square (1st St @ Promenade). The group describes itself as "a coalition of 19 diverse community organizations that are united by a belief in the power of the people. May Day Long Beach is pro-immigrant, pro-workers, pro-human rights, pro-social justice, and pro-Black Lives Matter" and explains its Inauguration Day event as follows: [May Day Long Beach Coalition" release text] The May Day Long Beach Coalition strongly condemns President-Elect Donald J. Trump's attacks on Muslims, people of color, immigrants, differently-abled people, women, the LGBTQ community, and the working class. As Thomas Jefferson once wrote, "When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty." Therefore, the Coalition calls on all Long Beach residents to resist President-Elect Trump's administration, anti-people policies, and attacks on marginalized and minority communities. We call on all of Long Beach to join the "Long Beach United Against Trump March" on January 20th in Harvey Milk Park. When the people of Long Beach unite, we can win. [Ed note: Monticello.org says the quotation attributed to Jefferson hasn't been found in his writings "although it captures some of the ideas that Jefferson expressed in the Declaration of Independence."

Ms. Kittinger writes on her Facebook page: "On January 20, come join us to celebrate the inauguration of Donald Trump, at the 49rs Tavern, 5660 E. Pacific Coast Hwy, Long Beach, CA. We had the Election night at the 49rs and it was packed. We look forward to sharing the victory with you. Even if you weren't for Trump, but would like to join us and enjoy visiting with friends, please do. Christmas is back in America. Thank you Donald." Ms. Kittinger adds: "If you want to celebrate and not have to dress up, join us."
