The Women’s March on NYC, echoing a larger demonstration in Washington, D.C. and others across the country, began near the United Nations around 11 a.m. to protest the new president — going right by his Midtown home at the Trump Tower.
Hundred of thousands of people paralyzed Midtown during many hours to stand in solidarity for women’s rights and to let Trump know they want a greater voice for women in political life.
The march’s goals are similar to that of the Women’s March on Washington, focusing on social justice, civil rights, equality, religion, and women’s rights in the wake of a Trump administration, which officially began Friday.
