Juggalo 101: Who they are and why they're marching on Washington. Protesters this year have marched on Washington, D.C., for women's rights, science and for President Trump to release his tax returns.
Followers of the hip-hop group Insane Clown Posse — aka Juggalos — are holding a march Saturday on the National Mall, alleging discrimination after the FBI labeled the group a gang in a 2011 report.
The band, consisting of the duo Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, said the gang accusation "has resulted in hundreds if not thousands of people subjected to various forms of discrimination, harassment, and profiling simply for identifying as a Juggalo." In a video on the their website, the hip-hop artists claim their fans have lost jobs, custody of their children and been denied access to the military for their Juggalo affiliation.
Juggalos are known for displaying the band's symbol, a man running with a hatchet, and the signature white-and-black face paint. The FBI placed Juggalos on the 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment following reports of crimes committed by people who wear Juggalo tattoos and clothing. Federal officials state there are more than one million Juggalos in the United States.
The band and the ACLU filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Juggalos in 2014, claiming they had been targeted by police. A federal judge tossed the lawsuit later that year, saying the FBI isn't responsible for how the report is used by local law enforcement agenies. The group, on the march's website, said their case was again dismissed, prompting the march. The group calls the gang label untrue. Juggalos, the website said, are a family "united by a shared love of music and fellowship."
