Many of the Americans who gathered this week were protesting against the views Trump expressed about women, minorities and immigrants during the presidential campaign. Trump promised to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. and to build a wall along the border with Mexico if he were elected.

Trump also said he would cancel a public healthcare law passed by President Barack Obama. He also spoke about renegotiating huge international trade agreements.

Protests also took place in Philadelphia, Boston, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Police arrested some people who blocked a large road in Los Angeles.

In front of the Los Angeles city hall, people shouted together, “we reject the president-elect” and “support women of color.”
