Indivisible KY is partnering with Corruption Cleanup to hold a rally in Louisville this Saturday from 3:30 to 5:00 pm. The rally is the first stop on a nationwide tour sponsored by HAZMAT America entitled the “#ThrashTheCash Tour.”
The rally will feature a visit from “Cleanup Carl,” an oversized inflatable in a HAZMAT suit, representing the need to clean up corruption in politics. Cleanup Carl has appeared in numerous rallies across the country, as well as other protests and events. As noted on the Cleanup Carl web site,
Carl’s origins are unknown, but his/her mission is clear: Cleanup Carl is taking on the dirty villains trying to destroy our democracy.
Where was Carl first spotted? It’s hard to say. It might have been at a DNC fundraiser with big investment lobbyists demanding handouts for the 1% over an increase in the minimum wage. It might have been outside a private prison CEO’s McMansion in the suburbs while the evildoer tried to sleep tight without looking over his shoulder. It might have been at a pipeline protest. It might have been on K Street. It might have been in your town.
The announcement from Indivisible KY explains why having Cleanup Carl visit Kentucky is so appropriate:
Mitch McConnell – aka #MoscowMitch – is selling out Kentucky voters for toxic campaign cash and partisan advantage. All he cares about is doing the bidding of his billionaire corporate donors and Trump. He led the effort to pass the #GOPTaxScam payoff to billionaire donors and corporations, blocked a vote on HR1, the bill to fix our democracy, and then openly rigged Trump’s trial. It’s time for the self-described ‘grim reaper’ to go, so Kentuckians can have REAL representation in Congress!
Signs, noise-makers, and high energy encouraged and welcome!
The rally will be in front of Metro Hall, 527 West Jefferson Street in downtown Louisville. Persons wishing to help set up should arrive at 3 PM.
