Protestors take to Trump Tower's fourth floor for a teach-in

City Councilman Mark Levine and a host of other New Yorkers have taken to the fourth floor of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue to give a range of public talks on climate change, jobs, energy efficiency, and public parks. Organized by Climate Works For All, the teach-in aims to heighten awareness about Donald Trump‘s backward energy and climate policies as well as his real estate practices.

People were able to group at the garden of Trump Tower by invoking a long-standing (but infrequently used) legal requirement that this part of Trump Tower has public access. The event is being live-streamed on Facebook and protestors are using #TeachTrump on social media. “It’s clear that Donald Trump has a lot to learn, so we came to Trump Tower to teach him about issues that matters to us and working families,” said Maritza Silva-Farrell, executive director of ALIGN, in a press release. “Making buildings more energy efficient is a win-win: cutting down on wasted energy protects the environment and creates good jobs in a city of vast inequalities. We also wanted to let the president know that New Yorkers value our public spaces, so he can’t cut corners like this anymore.”

If you fancy a trip yourself, the address is: 725 5th Ave, New York, NY 10022.
