"I'm concerned about Marin City, because it's the only Black community in Marin and there is only one entrance and one exit," resident Amber Allen-Peirson told the Chronicle.

Multiple reports of a Trump 2020 rally today at the Marin City shopping center parking lot off Highway 101.

Residents are shocked and confused why Trump supporters decided to go to Marin City, a predominantly Black community, so close to Election Day.

Allen-Peirson also described feeling unsafe at the sight of the so-called Trump Train, adding it was like "the Taliban had come to town.".

"It felt like local terrorism, especially since it was Sunday, which is a holy day for the black community," she added.

"If this is what is happening on November 1st, then what is going to happen on the 3rd or 4th?

"There is nobody who can tell me Marin City wasn't targeted because we are the only diverse community in the county.". »
