Supporters of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol scheduled a march in support of right-wing MAGA activist Ashli Babbitt for Memorial Day.
For the second year in a row, MAGA followers planned to gather in Washington, D.C. to march in remembrance of Babbitt, who was shot to death after breaking into the Capitol on Jan. 6.
The groups organizing the event vowed that the march would be peaceful. They included 4ashli.com, americanpatriotrelief.com, stophate.com, americanproject.com, patriotmailproject.com, jopatriotnews.com, and deb4freedom.com.

The groups also encouraged supporters to participate in the Ashli Babbitt Memorial Day Hero workout earlier in the day. The event was scheduled to coincide with the exercise period for the incarcerated Jan. 6 defendants.
"Join the Jan 6ers in a Memorial Day Hero workout honoring Ashli Babbitt and her ultimate sacrifice standing for Our rights," the group said. "The workout is designed so the political prisoners detained can also do the workout with us."
