This week's shock election result has spun millions into a cycle of disbelief and grief but many of the country's youth have defiantly sprung into action.

Across the U.S., college and even high school students are walking out of classrooms, marching through the streets and chanting in the name of social justice and opposition to the Donald Trump presidency.

High schools students from Berkeley, Calif. to Des Moines, Iowa have staged walk-outs sometimes involving thousands of students, advocating the rights of immigrants, women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, and basically all Americans.

Donald Trump's pretty unexpected victory has mobilized students and shown that they might not be as apathetic as everyone thinks.

In Berkeley, high school students flooded into the UC Berkeley campus. There, they joined their hands with others, chanting "Not our president" and "This is what community looks like."

In Los Angeles, Anti-Trump protests also broke out the night before at the UCLA campus.

The turnout of high school students has been especially inspiring, however, with teenagers in places like Boulder, Colorado walking out of classrooms in alliance with the communities Trump has insulted.

The same thing happened in Des Moines, Iowa.

There, school administrators said class schedules would continue as usual, but they respected the young students' right to protest, according to The Des Moines Register.

"Our students have the right to be heard," Phil Roeder, a spokesperson for the school district, said in a statement. "The majority of students at Des Moines Public Schools are students of color … The rhetoric of this past election has caused many concerns and divisions among them, their friends and their families. The school district will not stand in the way of our students peacefully expressing their concerns."

Along with Berkeley and UCLA, a number of other college campuses have seen anti-Trump demonstrations on Wednesday. Protests took hold at the University of Pittsburgh.

The climate of social justice extended to a small community college in Minnesota.

Peaceful protests also came in the form of sit-ins, like one at a liberal arts college in Massachusetts.

Some demonstrations took on a stronger tone, like the burning of an American flag at American University in Washington, DC.

In fact, from Texas to New York, students have been standing against Trump.

More protests are expected across the country Wednesday night.
