Our Day Mobile, a left-wing, anti-Trump group organizing protests in Mobile, announced on Thursday that it opposed attendees chanting “All Lives Matter” at its events.
Our Day Mobile posted on Facebook on Thursday, “We appreciate all the support we have gotten at our last two protests. It is great to see, that there are people who are willing to stand up for everyone's rights. It has come to our attention, that during our last protest on March the 8th, some people were chanting 'All Lives Matter.'"
“We can understand, that on face value, some might think it was an inclusive statement. Honestly, I wish it were and could be. But, some have used it in a derogatory way towards the BLM movement. Unfortunately, If we see or hear anyone using that phrase. We will have to ask you to distance yourself from our protest. Because, when you are at one of our protests. You're not just representing yourself. You are also representing OurDayMobile and we do not support using that phrase. Because, we support inclusivity,” Our Day Mobile said.
The group’s next protest is scheduled for April 5 at Government Plaza in Mobile.
