Now you can read us on the go! Check out the BTRtoday app for iOS and Android.

This week, BTR went to protest the results of the 2016 presidential election in Columbus Circle, NY. The event was organized by Answer Coalition, an organization founded in 2001 dedicated to fighting racism, imperialism and bigotry. The protest was organized on Facebook the morning of November 9th, and had more than a thousand confirmed attendees by the end of the day, all sharing the same contempt for Donald Trump, in defense of immigrants, Muslims, women’s rights and for working class solidarity.
