This weekend around 35 people, mostly families, came together at La Tour Cycle Cafe in Ipswich to hold their own demonstration, with the added bonus of tea and cake.
Participants created a banner made out of felt hearts, each donning a personalised message.

The finished product will be sent to American President Donald Trump’s office at the White House.
Vicky How organised the event for campaigners in Ipswich who couldn’t make it to the big city displays to have their say.

“It was really nice, there was quite a lot of Trump conversations going on,” she said.
“Everyone cut out a felt heart and wrote on there ‘climate change’ or ‘women’s rights’ or something they want the president to know they value.”

The banner will stay at La Tour, in Tower Street, for a week and people are welcome to drop off any ‘heartfelt’ contributions.
It will first go to a community cafe in Washington D.C., and possibly some US rallies, before it is delivered to President Trump.
