With chants of “Dump Trump!” thousands from the LGBTQ community braved a cold Saturday afternoon to rally against President Donald Trump’s Muslim ban and other ridiculously discriminatory policies at the historic Stonewall National Monument in New York City’s Greenwich Village.

The “LGBT Solidarity Rally” was organized by New York Councilman Corey Johnson and sponsored by dozens of advocacy groups and politicians ahead of a larger national march planned for June 11 in Washington, D. C. Speaking at Saturday’s rally, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) recalled the struggle begun at Stonewall in 1969, when hundreds rebelled against police discrimination in a movement that was largely sparked by queer and trans youth of color and became the birth of the LGTBQ civil rights movement.

Last year, former President Barack Obama designated Stonewall as the country’s first national monument to LGBTQ rights.

“The pioneers at Stonewall were alone. They didn’t think they’d be able to do anything,” Schumer told those gathered. “But they fought, and fought, and fought, and eventually they won. We are going to do the same thing.”
