Group traveled from the New York court where Weinstein is on trial to Trump Tower, chanting and singing a Chilean feminist song

The voices of more than 100 women echoed off the towering New York county court building on Friday, where the criminal trial of disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is taking place.
The patriarchy is a judge that judges us for being born, and our punishment is the violence that we have seen, they shouted.
The women performed Un Violador en Tu Camino A Rapist in Your Path the anti-rape anthem that was created by the Chilean feminist collective Las Tesis. Activists were dressed in all-black with red details. Many wore black mesh veils. Passersby stopped to watch as they chanted in English and Spanish, the language the anthem was originally performed in, accompanied by drums and bells.
The rapist is you. Its the cops, its the judges, the state, the president, the oppressive state is the rapist, the protesters chanted while pointing at the courthouse.
