Protesters took to Peachtree Street Wednesday night less than 24 hours after the presidential election.

An event, “Atlanta Does Not Stand With Hate,” rallying against President-elect Donald Trump was planned for 7 p.m. Wednesday, but was later cancelled due to the “unforeseen size of the gathering,” the event’s co-organizer Alex Espinosa said in a Facebook post.

“We are currently in a critical meeting to produce a more effective event in the near future,” Espinosa said. “We plan to update with the details of that event tomorrow.”

A separate group of protesters decided to meet in Piedmont Park and march through downtown Atlanta.
