Nov 9 2016: Thousands gather in downtown Chicago to protest Donald Trump

Thousands of demonstrators assembled in front of Chicago's Trump Tower to register their opposition to Donald Trump and march through the downtown area, often blocking major streets.

 

Throughout his campaign Trump made his racist and sexist views quite clear, as well as his disdain for women, people of color, immigrants, union members, and marginalized people of all kinds.

 

Some people there expressed fears of fascism and political repression. It was an overwhelming young multiracial crowd. Chants included “We want a president, not a fucking racist;” “No hate! No fear! immigrants are welcome here!”

 

There were similar protests across the nation.
