Protests have been springing up across New York since President Trump signed an executive order barring immigration from seven majority-Muslim countries last Friday. With the ban still in place—and over 100,000 people already affected—New York's activists and concerned citizens are planning more actions across the city. Here are some of the protests planned for the next few weeks and how you can join to make your voice heard.
