Okay, new plan.

The self-described nonconsensual groper of women and racism-fueling Republican Donald Trump is now the U.S. President-elect, and most everyone is asking themselves "What's next?"

Here's one possible answer for you: The group Answer Chicago is hosting an "emergency protest" and rally in front of Trump Tower at 5 p.m. Wednesday. As of this morning, about 3,500 people have RSVP'd as "going. The Facebook event reads:

EMERGENCY PROTEST!

Donald Trump, a vile racist and sexist, has been declared the winner of the U.S. presidential election. We must resist this outcome!

In fact, we cannot be idle. We must get into the streets immediately. We must unite and stand with immigrants, Muslims, women, LGBTQ people, poor and working people and Black Lives Matter. Only the people can defeat racism, bigotry and hate!

All Out! Come together and descend on the Trump hotel! Bring your signs, banners and voices of protest. Spread the word. Let's make the emergency protest as big as possible!
