Thousands, young, old and in-between flooded the Times Square area in Midtown Manhattan for the No Kings protest. “Donald Trump has got to go,” and “Trump must go now,” they chanted as they stood in Duffy Square waiting for the march down Seventh Avenue to begin. When they got moving, they were shoulder to shoulder slow walking their way south. One woman who gave her first name as Deborah said,” “Probably this is the most important thing I’ve ever done. It’s a turning point.”
They carried signs that displayed their concern. “We have a constitution,” one woman’s poster said, and the reverse read, “Imagine All the People.” Others carried signs that spoke to the attack by the Trump administration on healthcare. “Save Medicare,” many said.
Another held a poster that read, “First they came for the media and then we don’t know what happened after that.”
The NYPD said that about 100,000 people protested throughout the city and organizers estimated that there were 2,500 protests across America.
We have this video that captures the spirit of what we saw, and we’ll continue to post videos and photos.
