WASHINGTON - Internet users were shocked to learn ads posted in 20 U.S. cities offer protesters money to disrupt President-elect Trump's inauguration this week in Washington, D.C. An organization called "Demand Protest" posted the ads on the website Backpage.com. The San Francisco based group is offering people a $2,500.00 monthly retainer and $50/hr during each protest they participate in.
Demand Protest:
"As a Demand Protest operative you will receive a monthly retainer of $2,500 on top of our standard per-event pay of $50/hr, as long as you participate in at least 6 events a year. We are extremely flexible and can work with almost any existing work schedule. Full-time operatives receive health, vision and dental insurance for families, flexible vacations, and paid trainings. Travel expenses are always paid."
