Touching Images And Videos From Last Night’s Protest In Washington Square Park

Yesterday saw another night of protests in NYC. This time in Washington Square Park was host to thousands of New Yorkers for an “emergency rally” in support of Muslim and immigrant rights. The protest came in response to a series of executive orders issued by the President that afternoon.

Check out the pictures and videos below:

Thank you @cairnewyork for rallying hundreds of people in Washington Square Park less than 24 hours after Trump announced his Muslim travel ban. Thank you @lsarsour for your unwavering strength and ability to inspire. #nobannowall #immigrantsmakeamericagreat #refugeeswelcome

We must stand up for each other. We must stand up for our Muslim sisters and brothers. Our immigrant population. Our Native population. We must resist. We must protect our neighbor. Thank you @cairnewyork for hosting last night. This is only the beginning. We must remain active. This past Saturday only kicked off our fight for the next four years. #nobannowall #nobannowallnewyorkersforall #nodapl #blacklivesmatter #intersectionalfeminism #riseup #waterislife .

Last night. WSP. We are a nation of immigrants. How did you get here? To rip families apart and true-hearted, hard-working Americans from home is #destruction not #peace To not allow people in from predominantly Muslim countries is an absurd form of racism and a blatant slap to the foundational American belief that we are all free to practice our own faiths. That’s #notmyamerica #notmypresident (and for those of you that have an issue with this hashtag I say not my president because Trump has actively shown that he does not stand for the ideals that I believe America was built on– the America that I know and love) #westandtogether #justice #nobannowall #noban #nowall #ny

Pretty sure our police men and women have more important work to do than deport immigrants… after all, there are a lot of worse crimes than being undocumented… #sanctuary #fuckingwall
