CLEVELAND–Lloyd Fraser, 35, is not normally a protester, but the Cleveland resident came out Thursdy in the more than 90-degree weather to make a statement against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump using the Republican National Convention (RNC) as a backdrop, because he said that he thinks people need to do more than vote.

“[We’re] just standing against Trump, standing against hate and fear and all that he represents,” Fraser said as he and other demonstrators walked to promote their cause.  “I think it will change the perspective of some people to know that there are so many people out here who believe so strongly about it.”

Fraser was one of the more than 200 protesters participating in a march on Hope Memorial Bridge in downtown Cleveland during the RNC. Organized by Stand Together Against Trump (STAT), the anti-Donald Trump group of Cleveland and other Midwest area doctors and young professionals.
