Local community groups Forest Hills Indivisible and the Visibility Brigade hosted a Halloween-themed protest against the Trump administration and its policies on Wednesday, Oct. 29, on the overpass of the Long Island Expressway near Flushing Meadows Corona Park, at 61-20 Grand Central Pwky. in Forest Hills.
This protest and Halloween party, titled “Honk if you Think he’s Scary as Hell,” featured people of all ages, with some dressed in costumes to fit the theme of Halloween. Attendees were also encouraged to bring signs voicing their disapproval of President Trump so they could be displayed on the overpass.
In addition to positioning the signs so that they were in sight of cars on the Long Island Expressway, some attendees of the event also displayed flags and had horns and whistles.
“We’re doing this because we think it’s really important to stay visible, that the resistance has to be visible, loud, present and getting the message across, even to people that disagree with us,” Jean Citarella, one of the organizers, said.
