200K march in Midtown
NYC 'anniversary' marchers rip Trump
They had many reasons for coming — but were united against one man.
Some 200,000 people thronged Manhattan’s streets Saturday for the Women’s March to protest President Trump and his agenda on the first anniversary of his inauguration.
Many thousands more demonstrated across the country, including in Houston, Texas; Casper, Wyo.; Cambridge, Mass., and Park City, Utah, where the Sundance Film Festival is in swing.
Celebrities such as , including Eva Longoria, Natalie Portman, Viola Davis, Scarlett Johansson and Rob Reiner packed a sister march in Los Angeles.
Among the celebrities at New York’s march — which at one point stretched 20 blocks along Central Park West — were actresses Amy Schumer, Edie Falco and Anna Paquin.
Gov. Cuomo, Mayor de Blasio and other politicians also attended.
“This is our moment,” actress Rosie Perez declared to marchers. “Power to the pussy, y’all!”
Marchers said they were demonstrating in support of universal health care, religious freedom, immigrants, women and the environment. Others simply expressed their displeasure with Trump.
They sang and chanted in front of the Trump International Hotel and Tower at Columbus Circle, calling it a “s--thole” — a reference to the president’s alleged description of Haiti and African countries during a recent Oval Office meeting.
“You can’t build the wall,” shouted Annabelle Sherman, a seventh-grader who gave the hotel the middle finger as she passed by. “Your hands are too small!”
Roberta Brashear-Kaulfers, 62, visiting from Hawaii, said North Korea and the environment were her biggest issues with Trump.
“This whole thing with North Korea — it’s too close to home,” she said, citing the recent missile scare in her home state.
“They are coming for women,” Catherine Volk, 54, of Albany said of Republicans. “They’re coming for immigrants. They are coming for whoever are not rich Republicans.”
Volk held a sign saying, “Liberty & Justice for all.” Her husband’s poster declared: “First, they came for the Muslims and we said not this time, motherf--kers.”
Marchers wore knitted pink-eared “pussy hats” and held an eclectic mix of colorful handmade signs decrying the president and his policies.
“He has no respect for women,” said Linda Gynor, 72, a registered nurse from Manhattan who held a sign urging people to vote for Democrats this November.
“We have such a buffoon as president — the things that he does. The lunacy,” said Sandy Epstein, 65, an executive recruiter from Cresskill, NJ.
