Hundreds of high schoolers from across the city staged a walkout on May 27, rallying in Union Square against what they view as the Trump administration’s undermining of Constitutional protections and student freedoms.
Among the organizers were students from the High School of American Studies at Lehman College and Bronx Science, under the organization We The Students, a nonpartisan coalition formed in the months since Trump’s second term began. An estimated 20 schools were represented at the protest, according to student leaders.
