Essential Workers Rally in New York

Activists bearing four-foot high placards spelling out "Essential" and donning masks with the number "121," representing the number of days since NY started its "shelter in place" order, essential workers speak out across from the Trump International Hotel at Columbus Circle in Manhattan, demanding that those in power begin to rewrite the rules and reimagine our economy and democracy so that Black communities can thrive. Workers of all races also demand that the Senate and the President pass the HEROES Act that provides PPE, essential pay and extended unemployment benefits.
