Hundreds of people attended a protest in Birmingham city centre today to coincide with the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 45th President of the United States.
The demonstration, organised by the Birmingham branch of national anti-hate organisation Stand Up To Racism, attracted activists and concerned members of the public to High Street outside the Bullring and Waterstones as speakers voiced their anger at the official handover of power to the billionaire businessman who won the US Presidential election in November last year.
Complimenting a number of anti-Trump chants, many held up banners with slogans including “No to Racism, No to Trump”. The messages at the rally echoed the sentiments of many public figures and politicians who have responded harshly to Donald Trump’s rhetoric following his well-documented and repeated attacks on Mexican immigrants and members of the Muslim community.
Similar protests have also been taking place in cities and towns around the UK, including London, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
