Together Against Trump

NYC protest brings out thousands

Yesterday, there were protests against Trump all over the country. The Guardian reports that tens of thousands of people took to the streets. The NY Times has nothing on it’s homepage today about the protests.

People were instructed to gather at Bryant Park on 42nd St and Fifth Avenue. It was packed.

There was the sound of bagpipes, so I went to investigate. It confused me.

I asked one of the bagpipers why they were there, and he told me they had scheduled to play there for another reason, not knowing the HandsOff protest was happening the same day. He said he couldn’t say this officially, but was adament to let me know they supported us. It was a lovely moment.

This man below was diligently keeping the place clean.
