'Stop the Cut': Protests against government spending cuts continue in Milwaukee

Posted

The rallies have popped up around the country Saturday in cities like New York, Washington DC and Milwaukee — organized about two weeks after similar nationwide anti-Trump demonstrations.

In Milwaukee, they held up their signs and banners against the wire fence for interstate drivers to see. There were about eight overpasses filled with demonstrators in Milwaukee, so the drivers got the message while heading through the city between W. Greentree Rd. to W. Layton Ave.

New York protesters marched towards Central Park and past the Trump Tower.
