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
Thousands of New Yorkers marched in Manhattan on Nov. 9, 2024, sending a message to President-elect Trump that they were united against his divisive policies.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.
Many attendees were still grappling with the election’s outcome. Trump won handily, garnering 312 electoral votes plus a majority of the popular vote, while Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris only won 226. “We’re happy that folks are starting to line up now, and we expect a lot of people to be here today, and then we’re going to march to show a united front,” Lopez declared.
“It seems to me clear on the one hand, we have to work harder to protect New York City and protect the New Yorkers that we know he’s coming for,” Lander said, “And we have to listen to what voters were saying that they’re angry about our failure to deliver on the bread and butt issues that really matter to people cost of living, on affordability, on safety. So we have to both do the work to protect people and the work to deliver for people.
“ openly speaks about transphobia, putting a ban on trans people, and doesn’t want to see trans people being just us. That really scares me,” Garcia told amNewYork Metro.
