On December 13, as part of the National Day of Resistance, Wave of Indignation, tens of thousands marched in New York City and shut down major thoroughfares. The march was called #MillionsMarchNYC. It began in the morning at Washington Square Park. There were estimates of 50,000 to 70,000 people at its peak. After marching down 6th Ave., the march split up. Some pushed past a police barricade to take the Brooklyn Bridge, headed into Flatbush and to Barclay’s Center. Others took the Manhattan Bridge. One of the most powerful images was a photo of Eric Garner’s eyes carried by 8 people.
Here is a time-lapse video of the march:
