Stephen Caruso | Online Visual Editor
November 17, 2016
The protest, meant to promote love and tolerance and reject the presidency of Donald Trump, started outside the Cathedral of Learning, where nearly 1000 protesters gathered. Stephen Caruso | Online Visual Editor
After leaving Pitt’s campis, the protest marched down Fifth Avenue towards the Birmingham Bridge. Luis Perez, an East Liberty resident, showed up because he “can never turn down a protest.” Stephen Caruso | Online Visual Editor
With cop cars leading the way to create a moving blockade, the protesters fiollowed. Rob Helwis, a part time student at Pitt, waved a “don’t tread on me” flag as he marched. “This flag has been around a lot longer than the Tea Party,” Helwis said. Stephen Caruso | Online Visual Editor
When female protesters chanted “my body, my choice”, male protesters responded “their body, their choice.” Stephen Caruso | Online Visual Editor
Police kept the demonstration out of the bus lanes on Fifth. As busses passed, some commuters gawked at encouraged the protest. Stephen Caruso | Online Visual Editor
The protesters had various personal motives, but mostly coalesced around a support for minority groups such as LGBT, people of color and the disabled, as well as opposition to president-elect Donald Trump. Stephen Caruso | Online Visual Editor

The protest was peaceful, with no arrests and little drama aside from loud chanting of “this is what democracy looks like” or “No KKK, no racist USA, no Trump.” Stephen Caruso | Online Visual Editor
Justin Goff, of Mt. Lebanon, participated in his first protest Wednesday night. On his sign, Goff said “it was my wife’s idea, I can’t take credit.” Stephen Caruso | Online Visual Editor
Talia Ferro, a first-year Carlow nursing student, came to the protest to promote “equality, justice and peace.” After returning to the protest’s origins, the demonstrators dispersed. Stephen Caruso | Online Visual Editor
