A large protest unfolded around Bryant Park in Midtown, part of a nationwide ‘National Day of Action’ organized by 50501, a movement advocating against abuses of power. Over 900 events took place in cities nationwide, with participants addressing multiple issues, including climate change, foreign policy, and immigration. Protesters criticized billionaire influence and government negligence, calling for a more responsive leadership in New York. Notable comments came from individuals reflecting their concerns about democracy and public lands, illustrating the diverse motivations driving the demonstrations.
The militarization of the world by the United States, all of that, the money is going to deportation, to the military, to continuing the fights in Palestine. We don't want that.
New York has to take the lead in resisting Trump's agenda because New York is the most progressive place in the country and needs to step up, and Hochul is not quite doing it.
To me, it's amazing that there's not more of an outcry from the right when the very fundaments of their sport and their identity are being directly targeted.
The group 50501 states it opposes the influence of billionaires, economic injustice, attacks on democracy and executive overreach.
