Bronx, New York: Marchers deliver protest letter to Rep. Ritchie Torres
May 3. Activists from the Bronx Anti-War Coalition, Healthcare Workers for Palestine and their allies held a demonstration in three parts in New York City in solidarity with the people of Palestine and to stop the U.S.-armed Israeli genocide against Gaza. The first part was an action at U.S.
The second part took place when the activists and health care workers marched to Fordham Plaza for a rally, where they were joined by Neturei Karta, an anti-Zionist Jewish organization, which has been a regular presence at Palestine solidarity protests in this city. A Fordham University student who was arrested at a student encampment also spoke.
The protesters then took the streets on Fordham Road and marched to the Grand Concourse, where they took public transportation to New York University in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village to show solidarity to the encampment there in the third part of their day’s actions.
New York Police Department cops followed the protesters onto the train and instructed the train conductor to not move until the protesters got off the train. After shutting the entire D-line down for about 15 minutes, the demonstrators changed cars and kept moving forward. When they reached NYU, the organizers there opened the front of the march to their banners.
