The Wall in Trump project is looking for enough money to rent the sandbags they'll require to build a 4' tall, 3' wide, quarter-million pound "wall of solidarity" around Trump Towers, using volunteer labor that will be welcomed regardless of whether you can prove US citizenship.
Additional funds will go to the I Have a Dream foundation.
If they raise the money, the group will come together on Aug. 29 to spend an estimated eight hours building a wall at West 59th Street and the Avenue of the Americas, four blocks from Trump Tower and three blocks from the Trump International Hotel. Anyone—regardless of whether they donated to the Indiegogo campaign or can prove US citizenship—can help with the sandbags.“No one will be excluded,” says Haggerty. “This isn’t one individual speaking to whatever reality he’s living in—we’re building this reality together.”
If the Indiegogo campaign isn’t successful, or if they raise over $60,000, the team will donate any unused money to the “I Have a Dream” Foundation, which helps low-income students access higher education. “If we can’t gather enough attention to build the wall, we don’t want the conversation to end there,” says Haggerty.
