Protests have arisen in at least ten cities over the emergence of Donald Trump as President-elect of the United States.
Protests were underway in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, D.C., Portland, Ore., St. Paul, Minn. and several other cities.
The protesters are carrying placards with inscriptions such as “Not my President”, “Deport Donald Trump”, “Love Trumps hate”, among others expletives.
In Washington, D.C., hundreds took to the streets carrying signs saying “Nasty Women Fight Back” and “White Males for Equality for All.”
Protests are also ongoing in front of the Trump International Hotel in Washington DC.
“I think there’s a chance for impeachment at the end of the day,” said protester Joey Henriquez, a 22-year-old student at the City College of New York, who lives in Manhattan. “We can’t let him have eight years.”
A 33-year-old transgendered woman Chloe Stratton said she feared for her life as she did not know what a Trump-Pence presidency had for the LGBT community.
