A small set of photos from last night in NYC.
Being a part of this, marching with close friends and strangers last night, and feeling the collective roar of pain and support for one another, was an honour I will never forget.
We marched from Union Square to Trump Tower, peaceful protestors blocking traffic to keep those of us marching safe from cars. We chanted in English, Spanish, and Lakota. We cried out for Muslim, black, queer, Native, Latinx, trans, female, undocumented lives, now more in danger than ever before. We brought Manhattan to a standstill for hours, and we did it peacefully, with no police interference, because this was by the people for the people.
No matter what this looks like, I’ve never been surrounded by such unfailingly polite people. I’ve never been apologised to by so many people for bumping into me. A girl next to my group of friends started passing out Snickers. A young man fell to the ground sobbing at one point, and everyone nearby swarmed to protect him from the oncoming march, to hold him while he cried it out.
This may change nothing. Except that we know we’re not alone. That our capacity as individuals to take care of one another is more immense, more powerful than any corrupt government.

“Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. And when you stumble, keep faith. And when you’re knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on.”

“Donald Trump is a huge fan of Michael Jackson and loves to show off his photos with the late pop legend, so Gaga decided to wear one of Michael’s iconic jackets while promoting Hillary Clinton at the Democratic nominee’s final pre-election rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.”

“There was a time when a woman’s opinion did not matter. If you were black, white, Mexican, Asian, Muslim, educated, poor or rich – if you were a woman, it did not matter. Less than 100 years ago, woman did not have the right to vote. Look how far we’ve come from having no voice to being on the brink of history – again – by electing the first woman president. Yes! But we have to vote. The world looks to us as a progressive country that leads change. Eight years ago, I was so inspired to know that my nephew, a young black child, could grow up knowing his dreams could be realized by witnessing a black president in office. And now we have the opportunity to create more change. I want my daughter to grow up seeing a woman lead our country, and know that her possibilities are limitless. We have to think about the future of our daughters, our sons, and vote for someone who cares for them as much as we do. And that is why I’m with her. If you’re ready for freedom, make some noise!” – Beyoncé #IM WITH HER
