Following last week’s actions by the Miami Workers’ Center and its allies, who confronted Secretary Carson on his “listening tour” in Miami, this massive action in New York brought a spotlight on the breadth of opposition.
The action was organized by Community Voices Heard, and its many partners in the No Cuts Coalition, and drew the support of NYC Council Members Brad Lander, Ritchie Torres, and Ben Kallos in solidarity.
CarsonWatch is pleased to provide a roundup of photos and live commentary from this powerful action:
