The mayor of New York plans to hold a rally outside Trump’s hotel Thursday in protest of the inauguration.

Mayor Bill de Blasio intends to join up with fellow celebrities outside Trump International Hotel in Manhattan, reports the Huffington Post.

“I’m rallying at Trump Int’l Hotel at 6PM on Jan. 19 because our next president needs to hear from all NYers before he takes office. Join us,” de Blasio tweeted Monday.

He will join with prominent media figures like Alec Baldwin, Mark Ruffalo, and Michael Moore.

“As Lincoln once said, here in NYC, let us have faith that RIGHT makes MIGHT,” de Blasio said in another tweet. “This is New York. Nothing about who we are changed on Election Day. Let’s get to work.”

Let’s begin 100 days of action for our values. As Lincoln once said, here in NYC, let us have faith that RIGHT makes MIGHT.

De Blasio has repeatedly spoken out against President-elect Donald Trump and his potential policies, declaring in November that his office would not help Trump deport illegal immigrants.

Join us Thursday at Trump Int’l Hotel to remind this administration that NYC proves that immigrants are part of what makes America great.

We will use all the tools at our disposal to stand up for our people,” said de Blasio. New York is currently home to 500,000 illegals.
