“Not Your Scapegoat” is a protest designed to shine a light on the issues we believe are being ignored, distorted, or buried by those in power. This event is meant to call attention to the actions of the Trump administration, the ongoing public concern surrounding the Epstein files, and the ways marginalized communities are being used as political distractions.

From our perspective, transgender people, immigrants, and other vulnerable groups are being unfairly targeted, blamed, and portrayed as threats in order to stir fear and division. We believe these narratives are being used to redirect public attention away from serious questions about accountability, corruption, and abuses of power. Our protest is about rejecting that manipulation and refusing to let our communities be used as scapegoats for political gain.

“Not Your Scapegoat” is a space where we can speak openly about these concerns, uplift the voices of those who are most affected, and demand transparency and truth. We want to highlight how harmful rhetoric and policies impact real people families, workers, neighbors and how these tactics distract from the deeper issues that deserve scrutiny.

This protest is not about spreading anger; it is about exposing injustice, challenging harmful narratives, and standing in solidarity with communities who are too often blamed for problems they did not create. It is about insisting that accountability should fall on those who hold power, not on those who are already struggling for safety, dignity, and recognition.

Our message is simple: We refuse to be used. We refuse to be blamed. We refuse to be your scapegoat.
