A group is planning to protest President-elect Donald Trump Saturday at Fountain Square.

The "Peaceful Protest to Stop Trump" is scheduled for 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. according to a posting in the Greater Cincinnati Politics Facebook Group.

"We are fighting for protection of marriage equality, pro-choice for women, and protection of immigrants from deportation," the group posted. .

"This is our first rally to mobilize the American base to defend our democracy. We as Americans have witnessed Trump inciting hatred against Muslims, immigrants, women, the disabled. We have seen him evidencing dangerous tendencies that threaten the bedrock of democracy: unleashing a lynch mob mentality against protestors, calling for the expulsion of Muslims from the country, bullying, and fear-mongering. We as Americans do not support this ideology."
