From New York to Seattle Anti-Trump Protests Planned for Tonight
People Are Taking to the Streets
Despite Hillary Clinton having won the popular vote Donald Trump has won the Electoral College, and thus the White House. In response to his vision of an America that embraces hate and misogyny, lies and violence, and practically everything that President Barack Obama has stood for, protests are being planned for tonight in several states across the nation.
Several protests are being planned in New York City. There are also protests planned for Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Oakland, and Seattle.
