The Juggalos Are Coming. Are You Ready?

The Juggalos Are Coming. Are You Ready?

July 21, 2017 (July 21, 2017) // Riot Fest

To fight the oppression of Juggalos everywhere, Juggalos from around the world will be marching on Washington D.C. and there’s a very good chance that it will be the largest gathering of people on the National Mall in all of 2017.

Thousands and thousands of Juggalos are set to descent on Washington D.C. on September 16th to march in response to the FBI classifying Insane Clown Posse fans as a “loosely organized hybrid gang”.

Their website claims that, “over the past five years, our legal team has heard testimonies and reports from Juggalos all over the nation who have lost custody of their children, been fired from jobs, denied access into the armed forces, and the most common consequence — being officially labeled as a gang member by law enforcement agencies for wearing Juggalo related clothing or brandishing one or more Juggalo tattoos.”

The march will take place on September 16th at the National Mall in front of the Lincoln Memorial. There the Juggalos will host a protest rally to “explain to the world who the fuck we really are,” said Violent J.

This is the day that we are asking every single Juggalo to join us in our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., to make a collective statement from the Juggalo Family to the world about what we are and what we are not. Recently Psychopathic Records’ court case in our lawsuit against the F.B.I. and Department of Justice for listing Juggalos as a “loosely organized hybrid gang” in their 2011 Gang Task Force report was once again dismissed, meaning we are back to square one from a legal standpoint. We have tried to use the American judicial system to achieve justice and we failed.

So on Saturday, September 16, 2017, we are taking out fight to the streets. Literally.

Following the Juggalo March, there will be a free concert with performances by Insane Clown Posse, 2 Live Crew, Vanilla Ice, and ABK, Big Hoodoo, Blahzay Roze, Bukshot, Crucifix, DJ Clay, Glasses Malone, Jelly Roll, Jumpsteady, Kissing Candice,  Kung Fu Vampire, Lil Wyte, Liquid Assassin,  Lo Key, Lyte, Madchild, Project Born, Scum, Sewerside, WolfPac, Zug Izland, which I’ve been told are actual band names and have all agreed to volunteer “their musical skills in the name of standing up for Juggalo rights!”

So grab the family, load them in the minivan, make sure you have enough skrilla for Faygo, and let’s all road trip to DC.

You can read the full statement here, and shocking testimonials of Juggalos and Juggalettes who have personally been affected by the gang label here.

Saturday, September 16, 2017

That is the day we rise up.

That is the day we unite to clear our name.

That is the day we march.

Please be there.
