Thousands March in Anti-Trump Protests Across US

Carrying signs and reciting chants denouncing the president-elect as racist, and misogynistic, thousands of protesters took to the streets in cities across the U.S. Wednesday to protest Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election.


A large crowd packed New York City's Fifth Avenue, directly in front of the Trump Tower where the president-elect lives, waving signs reading "Love Trumps Hate."

Another group gathered across from Trump's soon-to-be-home, the White House in Washington. Just down Pennsylvania Avenue, at the newly-opened Trump Hotel, protestors chanted "Say it loud, say it clear: Refugees are welcome here."

Elsewhere on the United States' East Coast, demonstrations were held in Miami, Philadelphia and Boston, where protestors carried signs calling for Trump's impeachment and an end to the Electoral College, the constitutionally-established process that resulted in Trump winning the presidency despite his apparent narrow loss in the overall popular vote.
