In front of New York City’s Trump Tower, and in front of Trump campaign offices and other areas in Boston, Chicago, Denver, Oakland, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., grassroots activists and survivors of sexual assault are protesting Donald Trump’s treatment of women, and demanding Republican politicians and leaders revoke their endorsement of the GOP presidential nominee.

Some of their signs read “Pussy Grabs Back,” referring to Trump’s comments in a 2005 “Access Hollywood” video saying, “Grab them by the p—y.†And, “when you’re a star they let you do it.”
“You can do anything,” Trump also said on tape.
The protestors, who appear to be mostly women, are united on social media under the hashtags #GOPHandsOffMe and #pussygrabsback.
Some other signs read: “Donald Trump gives me yeast infections,” “F_ _ ck you Cheeto Voldemort,”Â

Anna Merlan at Jezebel’s “The Slot” cites “a press release from the organizers of the New York event— a diverse group of local activists—the protest was a call for ‘all women to reject both the Republican nominee and the Republican Party.'”
