Many students carried ''fight racism'' and ''stop sexism'' signs to speak out against the rhetoric and policies of the Trump campaign.

The walkout was one of many protests at UCLA held in response to Trump's election. Early morning after the election, more than 1,000 students marched into Westwood in anger at the results.

The protest was one of many that occurred across the United States in response to the inauguration. Students at other UC campuses such as UC Berkeley and UC Santa Barbara also held their own protests.

Aside from a verbal confrontation with a Trump supporter, the protest remained peaceful for its duration.

Despite heavy rain pouring for much of the protest, students continued their march into Westwood.
