WASHINGTON—Elizabeth DeLuca, a co-founder of the Jericho March, was born in Cuba and is well aware of the threat communism poses to individual freedoms and the liberty of a nation. This threat is a key issue in this presidential election as well, DeLuca explained, and one reason so many Americans are taking to the streets to support President Donald Trump.
Thousands gathered to join marches and rallies in Washington on Dec. 12, 2020—the Jericho March being one of the demonstrations. Similar grassroots protests have taken place every Saturday since the general election in capitals across 50 states.
“We’re here because we want to be here for our president Donald J. Trump. We believe that we have to fight this and we believe in prayer and we believe in the Constitution of the United States,” she said. “We value our freedoms. I was born in Havana, Cuba, so I understand socialism. I understand communism, and that’s something we will fight, to prevent that happening in this country.”DeLuca said she was disappointed that the Supreme Court has not taken up the fight.
