Around 75 demonstrators gathered across the street from Trump Tower<\/a> Friday afternoon to stage a die-in protest against the passage of what President Trump calls the \u201cBig Beautiful Bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

The protesters call it the \u201cMurder Budget.\u201d<\/p>\n

The activists held signs with slogans including \u201cTrump Did This\u201d and \u201cMusk Stole My Medicaid.\u201d Others held the American flag upside down as a signal of distress. They were blocked by metal police gates on the sidewalk from protesting inside Trump Tower\u2019s lobby, as they had hoped to do. Instead they lay down in the bus lane across the street from the building around 4:45 p.m. near Fith Ave. and 57th St.<\/a> in Midtown Manhattan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bill is a sin against God and man. We have elected a man who has taken over our government and run rampant over our Constitution,\u201d said Jane Lindberg, 69, who held up a couple of upside-down American flags while wearing a knapsack emblazoned with \u201cTrump Is a Liar.\u201d<\/p>\n

The protest was organized by Rise and Resist NYC, Indivisible, and Physicians for a National Health Program NY Metro.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bill will hurt a lot of people, including people who voted Republican,\u201d said Matthew Cavalletto, 53, a software developer. \u201cThe Republicans are claiming to be the party of working people but those are the people who are going to be hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday Congress passed the controversial $4.5 trillion budget bill,<\/a> following on the heels of Senate, which narrowly approved it on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump will sign his budget bill to strip millions of healthcare, kill clean energy, and cut funding for SNAP, all to fund ICE\u2019s lawless reign of terror, and tax cuts for the billionaire class,\u201d Rise and Resist said in a statement.<\/p>\n
