Spring Action 2018: Rally and March Against Wars at Home & Abroad
Herald Square
34th St and 6th Ave.
2 p.m. - 5 p.m.
Rally at Herald Square and march to Trump Tower. This is the NY region mobilization called as part of "spring actions" throughout the country. From the Facebook page: "With the recent escalation by the Trump administration of the wars in Afghanistan and Syria and threats to North Korea and Venezuela; huge increases in military spending and the threats of nuclear war; as well as increasing attacks on the rights of workers and communities of color and the dangerous growth of white supremacist forces, the time is now to return to the street to make our voices heard."
