Activists in Minnesota say they don't plan to ease up on their protests against President-elect Donald Trump.

In the second night of demonstrations since Trump was elected, thousands of people marched from the University of Minnesota campus onto highway I-94 last night shutting down traffic for more than an hour-and-a-half.

One of the groups that helped organize the protest was Minnesota Neighborhoods Organizing for Change.

Its Executive Director is Anthony Newby and he spoke with MPR's Cathy Wurzer.
