A California Catholic Daily exclusive by Anna Rose.
This Friday is the tenth anniversary of Walter Hoye’s Standing Up 4 Life Rally and Walk in Frank Ogawa Plaza on the eve of the annual West Coast Walk for Life. Unfortunately, Hoye is being forced to cancel this year’s walk out of an abundance of caution for the safety of his supporters. Several anti-Trump groups are preparing to take over Frank Ogawa Plaza, a location the protesters have dubbed “Oscar Grant Plaza”, in protest of the inauguration of Donald Trump.
In the past, Walter Hoye’s event has been overrun with pro-abortion forces with little action from the police. This year, with the promise of civil unrest and many different factions working together to ensure that happens, it was just too much of a risk to the safety of the pro-life contingent that normally attends. The City of Oakland has been shown to be unprepared to keep peace and expects their force to be spread thin over Friday’s events. His nighttime event on the eve of the Walk for Life is still going on as planned, however.
Hoye is hoping to see everyone at the West Coast Walk for Life and he is confident in the safety of attendees there. “The San Francisco Police Department does an excellent job of protecting free speech in San Francisco. They are the best at ensuring both free speech and safety of everyone. I will be there on the stage at the Walk for Life and I will be walking. I encourage everyone to bring their families and friends to stand up for life!” Hoye said.
While Walter Hoye is cancelling his official rally and walk, he will still be there praying quietly and walking the same route he walks every year to mourn the destruction abortion has wrought in the black community. He hopes to resume his public walk and rally next year.
I had thought I read that the Rev Hoye was a “#NeverTrumper” who wpuld not vote for Trump. Strange.
Joe …
You are mistaken …
Last year we released five (5) videos (below) and reached over 400k voters concerning the election:
Pre-Election

Post Election

The videos were effective in targeting and catching the attention voters in my community …
Walter Hoye
This is what it comes down to: physical violence against the word of God, enabled by Oakland’s flaccid political power. This is how Hitler came into power, not through someone like Donald Trump. Oakland is a place of much promise, but it has been usurped by people that bear little allegiance to America. Similar people will be running around Washington, DC during the Inaugural events of this week, too.
Rev. Hoye is a man of God, so much more so than many, many American bishops. Come to Catholicism, good Reverend, and teach these sycophants what Christ really meant by His love for Mankind. There is no word for the tormentors here, except, perhaps, Hell-Bound.
One Life L.A. march is relocated several miles south of downtown LA to USC/Exposition Park/Coliseum for the same reason: anti-Trump demonstrations in the heart of downtown LA. Site of the 3 previous One Life LA marches. By the way, the 3 previous One Life LA marches drew approx. 20,000 people w/ absolutely ZERO coverage in the mainstream media. Welcome to the Matrix.
By the way, God bless Reverend Walter Hoye.
Sad to hear of the cancellation, but it is understandable. Oakland has not protected this peaceful talk & walk in the past. We will pray from afar during the time this rally and walk was scheduled.

Satan is doing what he can to cause turmoil against Christianity and keep his dominion of mis-guided and deceived followers. Pray for these leftists/Marxists/communists that they will see the light. If they don’t like it here in these United States, might I suggest a temporary 4 year move out of the country for them, spending 2 years living in Iran and 2 years living in North Korea. It will give them a much better understanding of what communism and Sharia Law is like which they openly support.
