De Blasio to Join Celebrity Protest of Trump Inauguration

Mayor Bill de Blasio and a host of celebrities will take part in a protest this Thursday against Donald Trump on the eve of his inauguration as president.

De Blasio and actors Mark Ruffalo, Shailene Woodley, Rosie Perez, and Alec Baldwin will join filmmaker Michael Moore, Reverend Al Sharpton, and members of advocacy groups at 6 p.m. on Thursday outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower at Columbus Circle.

The protest is intended "to stand united and send a message to President-elect Trump and Congress that New York City will protect the rights of residents and will continue to make real progress on important issues such as healthcare, climate change, social justice and immigrant rights," according to a release sent Monday.
