It’s happening: Inauguration Day events in Brooklyn
What to do as the era of Trump begins
Friday’s Inauguration Day is unlike any other in our nation’s history. President-elect Donald Trump has the lowest approval ratings of any incoming president, and strikes have been called nationwide by women’s groups, progressives and artists.
Anti-Trump demonstrations are planned outside numerous Trump buildings across the country. (And on Saturday, midtown streets will be clogged with the NYC Women’s March, taking place at the same time as the massive Women’s March in Washington, D.C.)
While a small number of Trump supporters live in Brooklyn, mainly in Bay Ridge, no official pro-Trump inaugural events have been organized, according to Sen. Marty Golden’s office. Three Golden staffers have headed to Washington, D.C. for the celebration. (On Wednesday, however, a pro-Trump party was held at Amp insurance brokerage, at 7709 5th Ave. in Bay Ridge.)
