Report from March for Political Prisoners in NYC.
On October 10th, the Jericho Movement and the NYC Anarchist Black Cross Federation, among others, organized a rally at the United Nations which was followed by an illegal march through the streets of midtown Manhattan. This event brought together Black Nationalists, Puerto Rico Independistas, Anarchists, Animal Liberationists, and others with the common goal of bringing attention
to the plight of political prisoners held in the U.S.
After a brief rally at Dag Hammarskjold plaza, near the United Nations building the protesters took the streets in an unpermitted march which wound its way through the center of Manhattan passing grand central station and taking over Park Avenue. The diverse group had banners and signs declaring solidarity with political prisoners and decrying government attempts to criminalize dissent. The march made it, with only minor police interference, to Madison Square Park where another rally was held.
