Protests Erupt in US and UK After Trump's Re-election

Donald Trump's re-election has ignited widespread protests across the United States and in the UK, with demonstrators voicing concerns over his policies, particularly on reproductive rights and immigration. In major U.S. cities like Philadelphia and Chicago, thousands took to the streets carrying placards and chanting slogans such as 'Not my President' and 'Free Palestine', reflecting their anger and fear regarding Trump's policies. Concurrently, in London, activist groups including Stand Up To Racism organized a protest outside the U.S. Embassy, condemning Trump's perceived racism, bigotry, and threats to abortion rights. The protests were largely peaceful, although some activists from Just Stop Oil were arrested for vandalism during the demonstration. Protesters expressed that Trump's victory emboldens far-right sentiments globally, posing a threat to marginalized communities. The mobilization in both countries highlights a significant divide in public sentiment following Trump's return to the presidency.
