New York Lawyers To Protest Donald Trump
New York City lawyers say they're gathering on Friday at Foley Square to voice opposition to President Donald Trump.
FINANCIAL DISTRICT, NY — Lawyers and legal workers from throughout the city are organizing a demonstration in lower Manhattan on Friday to protest "the new regime and its white supremacist agenda," organizers said.
New York legal workers are gathering at Foley Square at 1 p.m. as part of a nationwide day of action sponsored by the progressive legal group the National Lawyers Guild. The guild says there are actions planned in 17 cities.
