Making a stand…
There’s been a lot of activism on social media in Ireland following Donald Trump’s inauguration, but this evening people have taken to the street in Dublin to protest.
People are furious about some of the policies Trump has implemented including the travel ban on people from the seven countries of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
United Against Racism Ireland have reacted to Trump’s policies by organising a protest rally outside the US Embassy in Dublin this evening.
Crowds are building at the event which is due to run between 6.00pm and 7.30pm and there’s estimated to be 1,000 people in attendance.
