A weekend of continued anti-Trump protest… Check back for news and updates below…
For the third weekend in a row, people in the United States and around the world were registering their disgust and opposition to President Donald Trump by staging rallies and protests against the new administration’s far-right agenda.
Though the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department were forced by court injunction to halt their enforcement of a controversial immigration order issued by Trump last Friday, many of the scheduled protest this weekend came together in opposition to Trump’s attack on vulnerable communities, his assault on the constitution, his unfettered economic attack on working people and the poor, and cabinet choices that include titans of Wall Street and the fossil fuel industry.
A large demonstration sponsored by the LGBTQ community and its allies in New York City kicked off Saturday afternoon near the famous Stonewall Inn, with tens of thousands expected to attend, as other anti-Trump protests were underway or scheduled in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, London, Los Angeles, Chicago, and numerous other cities and towns.
“Join us in front of the Stonewall Inn as we stand in solidarity with every immigrant, asylum seeker, refugee and every person impacted by Donald Trump’s illegal, immoral, unconstitutional and un-American executive orders,” the organizers in New York stated. “We will also speak out against Trump’s selection of the most anti-LGBT nominees and appointees in modern history.”
While Vice President Mike Pence was met with large crowds in Philadelphia, where he delivered remarks at a mid-day event, a protest is also scheduled to take place Saturday evening outside Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, where the president is spending the weekend.
