Broadly: Why are you here today?

*Abdul, Egypt/Jersey City:* We came today to say, "No ban, no wall" to Mr. Trump. He is our president and he's racist and sexist and Islamophobic. I don't know why he hates all these people. You've seen the first two weeks under Trump… We just say we want democracy, we want liberty, we want to make our country great again.
