Donald Trump will be sworn in as president Friday, and some New Mexicans are mobilizing in response. Protests and celebrations are planned at university campuses, local landmarks, and downtown areas.
James Friedman says hundreds of people are expected to attend an evening protest in downtown Albuquerque. He is with Albuquerque鈥檚 Party for Socialism and Liberation that helped organize .
"What we need is a mass-movement to resist Trump鈥檚 anti-worker policies. We believe that the right to free healthcare, free education, to housing are all basic human rights," Friedman said.
Anti-Trump demonstrations start in Albuquerque with a student walkout at the University of New Mexico at noon, two hours after Trump鈥檚 swearing in ceremony in Washington, D.C. Events are scheduled across the state throughout the weekend.
New Mexico鈥檚 Republican Party is not hosting an Inauguration Day event.
