New Yorkers declare they ‘won’t back down’ from opposing President-elect Trump at Manhattan march

Thousands of New Yorkers took to the streets of Midtown Manhattan Saturday to send a clear message to President-elect Trump: They will not back down in protecting the rights of immigrants, women and LGBTQ+ Americans, if and when he moves to attack them.

Organizers of the march say 5,000 people participated in the demonstration. More than 30 organizations put the event together, including the progressive Working Families Party, Make the Road New York, CWA Union, VOCAL NY, Citizens Action of NY, and Jews for Racial & Economic Justice.
