US: Activists plan demonstrations in New York and Washington, DC, Nov. 9

Activists plan protests in New York, NY, and Washington, DC, on Nov. 9 to denounce President-elect Donald Trump's policies. Protesters will gather at Columbus Circle, New York, and at Columbus Circle, Washington, DC, from 12:00. It is not known how many will take part; previous anti-Trump rallies have attracted tens of thousands of people.

Authorities will likely deploy an increased security presence near the demonstrations. Localized security-related transport and business disruptions are likely. The events are likely to remain peaceful; however, confrontations between protesters and opposing groups are possible.
