Anti-Trump protesters march through downtown San Antonio for second night

No reports of violence or arrests at anti-Trump protest

SAN ANTONIO – Hundreds of people took to the streets of downtown San Antonio on Saturday night to voice their opinion on the election of Donald Trump. 

It was the second night of protests in downtown San Antonio near Alamo Plaza.

The peaceful march made its way along Cesar Chavez Boulevard with several participants carrying signs and chanting. President-elect Trump won the electoral college, but not the popular vote.

"This is not what we voted for,” said Kaedee Franco. “This is not what the majority of the country voted for and we're not standing for intolerance, for racism, xenophobia and homophobia."

"If you're a woman. If you're, you know a child. If you're an immigrant, if you're in the lesbian, bisexual, transgender community you're a target right now,” said Francisco Cortes.

San Antonio police officers blocked traffic along the march route and kept an eye on the protest as it made its way through the streets.

Similar to Friday night, the protest stayed peaceful and there have been no reports of violence or arrests.
