Tens of thousands of workers are expected to leave work early<\/a> Tuesday to protest<\/a> the one-year anniversary of President Trump\u2019s second inauguration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nearly 40,000 people RSVP\u2019d to participate in a 2 p.m. Free America Protest, according to Axios.<\/p>\n

Free America encourages demonstrators to meet Tuesday wearing red, white and blue in locations including<\/a> Central Park, Prospect Park, Washington Square Park and Trump Tower in Midtown. At least 800 events associated with that movement are slated for what\u2019s shaping up to be a frigid afternoon<\/a> in New York City.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a request. This is a rupture. This is a protest and a promise,\u201d Free America says on its website.<\/p>\n

Event organizers are also encouraging students to leave their classrooms to join marchers objecting to the Trump administration\u2019s first year in office, which has included federal law enforcement being deployed in U.S. cities<\/a> and unprovoked aggression toward<\/a> longstanding allies.<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s March Managing Director Tamika Middleton helped organize Tuesday\u2019s protest. She said participants want to send a message \u201cthat we withdraw our consent from what is happening\u201d within the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

According to Axios, Tuesday\u2019s activities could be a sign of things to come as the sophomore year of Trump\u2019s second presidency gets underway. National No Kings rallies protest reportedly attracted 7-million participants in October. Thousands of New Yorkers,<\/a> including elected officials, marched on Fifth Avenue this month in a related demonstration. Researchers claim that increasingly large protests can be effective in forcing change.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the face of fascism, we will be ungovernable,\u201d Free America\u2019s website claims.<\/p>\n

President Trump celebrated the state of the nation with a social media post declaring \u201cAmerica is back!!!<\/a>\u201d late Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

He cites the soaring stock market and tightened U.S. borders among his successes over the past year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tens of thousands of workers are expected to leave work early Tuesday to protest the one-year anniversary of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":105316,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[47815,75,84,83,9,24,63,2304,6986,8904,47816],"class_list":["post-105315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-free-america","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-president-trump","tag-protest","tag-tuesday","tag-walk-out"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
