Two civil rights groups are launching a campaign to block former President Donald Trump from becoming president once more, citing alleged violations of the 14th Amendment related to the Jan. 6 incident.

The groups “Free Speech for People” and “MI Familia Vota” will hold multiple rallies and banner drops for a week beginning Sunday outside the offices of the secretaries of state of Oregon, Georgia, Colorado, and California. The duty of certifying the eligibility of political candidates and counting votes in the state falls on the secretaries of state. The protests are part of a campaign from the groups seeking to ban Mr. Trump from running for the 2024 presidential election due to his alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
