CHICAGO (CBS) -- Chicagoans are continuing to protest Saturday Donald Trump's presidential election win in Millennium Park.
Saturday is the fourth day in a row groups have gathered to protest Trump. Two separate groups organized Trump protests for Saturday in Millennium Park. Both are to start at 10 a.m. at 201 E. Randolph St.
The first group of protesters are said to be "peaceful" sharing the message of 'Love Trumps Hate.' The protest was organized through Facebook by Jennifer Alvarez, Simona Luiza K Mircheva, Manuel Medina and Andrea Hernandez.
The details of their organized protests stated:
"We will not let this election bring us down. We stand together with those who need support. Friends and families, remember the need to get together. The events that took place this past Tuesday shifted the perspective of our nation.
We are a diverse nation, we thrive in adversity, and we overcome all obstacles. We are overflowing with love despite the constant blows that try to knock us down.
To our Native American, Muslim, LGBTQ, Black, Brown and White brothers and sisters. To them I tell you, lend a hand, a hug and give each other love. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. YOU ARE VALUED. YOU ARE HUMAN. YOU BELONG.
Let's meet at the heart of our city, and share some of this love to strengthen ourselves. Let's give out free hugs, send out encouraging words, and remind people that we do not have to hide afraid in the shadows."
The group has made a hashtag for the event, #wearestronger. 3,000 people RSVP'd to the Facebook event. Another 11,000 people said they were interested in attending.
The second group of protesters are said to be more "aggressive" and is a contination from Wednesday night's protest. The protest was organized through Facebook by activists Dustin Kloeppel, Lamon Reccord and Lily Martinez.
The details of their organized protests stated:
"Our protest on Wednesday night was the most powerful night of my life. We need to keep the ball rolling. This can NOT be a one night thing. I hope you all will come out this Saturday to help continue this fight for change. Even come alone if you want to! You will make friends! Please keep everything peaceful. They will not hear the message if we react violently."
The group has made a hashtag for the event, #StrongerTogether. 3,100 people RSVP'd to the Facebook event. Another 14,000 people were invited and 8,100 people said they were interested in attending.
Chicago is not the only city with anti-Trump marches. Philadelphia, New York and Los Angeles are among the other cities.
Trump's Twitter page on Thursday blamed the media for inciting the protests.
