New Yorkers build wall of sticky notes to defy, mock Trump

This is not the kind of wall Donald Trump was talking about.

In the liberal stronghold of New York City, residents distraught over the incoming Republican administration were finding solace a week after the US presidential election by placing handwritten, anonymous notes on the walls of a busy subway station.

On Tuesday, many notes offered support to immigrants or mocked Trump’s promise to build a wall along the United States-Mexico border and have Mexico pay for it.

“A better wall,” read one sticky note.

“This is the wall that love can build,” read another.

Titled “Subway Therapy,” the installation lining the underground walls beneath Manhattan’s Union Square was the idea of artist Matthew “Levee” Chavez.
