The women’s protest that shut down Trump Tower in Manhattan earlier this month is back and more powerful than ever.
Last Friday, some sixty women and their allies shut down Trump Tower following Donald Trump’s own admission to sexually assaulting women. Today, women again gathered, and not just in Manhattan, but also at other Trump properties in Chicago, Washington, DC. and later today in Las Vegas.
Women held signs with #GOPHandsOffMe hashtags and other messages denouncing Trump’s harassment of women, and the Republican Party’s embrace of his extremism.
