NAME STREET IN FRONT OF TRUMP TOWER AFTER OBAMA, NEW YORK PETITION DEMANDS
BY DAVID BRENNAN ON 1/4/19
A petition has been launched to rename the area in front of Trump Tower in New York after former President Barack Obama, a favored target of current President Donald Trump.
As of Friday, more than 5,000 people had signed the petition on the website of MoveOn, a progressive advocacy group. Elizabeth Rowin, who started the petition, has set a goal of 7,500 signatures, upon which the request will be delivered to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.
“We request the stretch of Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets be renamed ‘President Barack H. Obama Avenue,’” the petition reads. “Any addresses on that stretch of Fifth Avenue should be changed accordingly.” Any change to address in this area would also affect Trump’s 58-story skyscraper on Fifth Avenue.
The building, from which Trump ran his 2016 campaign, will also be the headquarters for his 2020 re-election bid. Since Trump defeated Hillary Clinton to become commander-in-chief, the area around Trump Tower has been subject to heightened security measures and the scene of multiple protests, both for and against the 45th president.
