My friend and I in front of Trump Tower. After the hellacious day in NYC after the election, it was encouraging to spend time with our peers. At the protest, we had the chance to express our grief and anger at the election results. Even more importantly, we spoke with members of the crowd about the steps that we have to take to make sure that our voices are heard.

There were a lot of slogans being chanted. This one: "Donald Trump, go away! Racist, sexist, anti-gay!"

The support from the crowd was overwhelming. Every time I made eye contact with someone, we shared a look of understanding and empathy.

I think we went down a few streets we weren't supposed to :)

Walking through stopped traffic. "LOVE TRUMPS HATE!"

Tuesday night was a tragic moment for our generation, for our country. But the protests showed me that there is still hope for us. We need to take this energy and funnel it into action for the future. We need to continue to get involved, to work hard to ensure that people like Trump do not run again.
