On March 15, 2025, demonstrators gathered outside the Stock Exchange in New York City, protesting significant proposed cuts to Medicaid, housing, food assistance, and education. Led by a coalition of labor unions and community groups, the march was a reaction to a Republican budget resolution that intended to slash $880 billion from Medicaid along with other essential programs. Attendees, including Marcella Gohen, emphasized the devastating impact on vulnerable individuals, underscoring that cuts would result in real casualties.
My message today is my husband's not a waste. If they're going to cut Medicaid, they're killing people.
The march kicked off with a rally in Foley Square in downtown Manhattan, marking a united stand against proposed cuts to essential services.
