From Coast to Coast, Anti-Trump Protests Declare: "Not My President"
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Protests are growing across the United States following Tuesday's
election. On Saturday, 10,000 people marched in New York City. Eight
thousand more marched in Los Angeles, where 200 people were arrested.
Protesters also took to the streets in Philadelphia; San Francisco;
Oakland; Chicago; Oklahoma City; Salt Lake City; Springfield,
Massachusetts; and in Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio. In Portland, Oregon,
police attacked protesters with pepper spray and flashbang grenades and
arrested 71 people. One protester in Portland was also shot and wounded
during a confrontation on a bridge that was blocked by the protests. In
Traverse City, Michigan, a police officer was put on paid leave for
intimidating protesters at a "Love Trumps Hate" rally by driving around
the demonstration displaying a Confederate flag while he was off duty.
This is Annette Alejandro at a protest in New York City Sunday.

Annette Alejandro: "I'm here to support everybody, to speak for my
community, that's afraid, and they don't know where the country is
going, and so together we could come up with a plan on what we can do
next. A lot of things that are being talked about, and people are trying
to reverse the laws that are in place, I'm very concerned about that,
because I feel that would put our country back, and I feel that we
should progress and be inclusive of everybody."
