Thousands Protest Trump Election
The U.S. presidential election results are not going down well with
thousands of protesters who filled the streets of a number of large
cities Wednesday night.
The marches have been peaceful so far, but loud, with shouts of "No Trump, No Racist USA."
A large crowd packed New York City's Fifth Avenue, directly in front
of the Trump Tower, waving signs reading "Love Trumps Hate."
Another group gathered across from Trump's soon-to-be-home, the White House in Washington.
Demonstrators blocked traffic in Chicago, marched through downtown
Philadelphia, Boston and in West Coast cities Los Angeles, San Francisco
and Seattle.
Earlier Wednesday, high school and college students stormed out of
classrooms across California, a state with a large Hispanic population.
Many of the protesters say they are scared and fear a Trump
administration will champion(拥护) anti-immigration policies. They regard him
as racist, sexist and xenophobic because of statements he made during
the presidential campaign.
No one from the Trump staff has commented on the protests.
But losing Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has told
voters they owe Trump "an open mind and a chance to lead."
