Leicester Says Dump Trump!

Despite freezing cold weather, more that 50 people gathered at the Clock Tower in Leicester on January 20th, to protest the inauguration of Donald Trump. Women of all ages were present, all expressing alarm at the prospect of an openly sexist and misogynist leader of the United States.

“Dump Trump- racist Trump! Dump Trump- sexist Trump!” was chanted, and speeches were given. The link between fighting sexism and capitalism was made by one protestor.

“Trump’s success was a failure of the Democratic party. Hilary Clinton openly represented Wall Street and big business rather than the interests of ordinary women. The movement around Bernie Sanders shows the mood for a socialist alternative to the current corrupt system.”
