More Than 100,000 March to Say "Hands Off!" Unions and Democracy

The NYC CLC and affiliates joined in a massive Hands Off! march through the heart of Manhattan Saturday, standing united against attacks on workers’ rights and devastating cuts to the essential services Americans rely on. A broad coalition of more than 100,000 people including unions from across New York City came together at Bryant Park and filled 5th Avenue for a march that stretched nearly twenty blocks to Madison Square Park. The energy was electric, and the message was clear: we won’t back down in the fight to protect our rights, our democracy, and our future.

The march was part of a nationwide mobilization in which millions participated in more than 1,300 actions from coast to coast.
