Protesters plan pro-impeachment events in Spokane on Tuesday

Three public protest events are planned for Spokane on Tuesday as part of a national effort pushing for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

Organizers said they will wave signs on the Second Avenue and Regal Street pedestrian bridge over Interstate 90 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Protestors also plan to deliver letters in favor of impeachment at the downtown Spokane offices of Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, as well as Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, on Tuesday afternoon. A rally is also planned outside the Thomas S. Foley United States Courthouse beginning at 5:30 p.m.

There are 600 planned protests Tuesday across the country, according to local organizers, ahead of a scheduled vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday to forward two articles of impeachment against the president.

Stated support for the impeachment has largely fallen along partisan lines, with Democrats arguing a phone call Trump made with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky this summer included a request for the government to investigate the son of political rival Joe Biden, and that the president has obstructed a Congressional inquiry into the behavior. Republicans say the conduct does not rise to the level of impeachment and that no first-hand witnesses have come forward to corroborate the accusations.

If the Democrat-controlled House votes to forward the articles of impeachment Wednesday, the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate would convene a trial to determine whether to impeach the president.
