'We won't stand by as women die' projected on Trump Hotel

An advocacy group projected a slideshow of images and words onto the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. late Monday to mark the one-year anniversary of President Trump blocking funding to international nongovernmental organizations that provide or promote abortions.

"It doesn't take a genius to know family planning works," read one of the projections.

"We won't stand by as women die" and "#Fight4HER" read others.




The group — Population Connection Action Fund — projected the slideshow a year after Trump signed an executive order reinstating the so-called "Mexico City" policy.
