Saturday was No King’s Day, sponsored by Indivisible MHK. This was the third organized protest held by the organization in Manhattan, and attendees lined up on the edge of City Park across from City Hall. Approximately 1,200 residents turned out for the protest.
The protesters represented the wide demographics that make up the city of Manhattan’s residents.
Indivisible MHK security chair and City Commission candidate Amber Starling said, “People are just getting really tired of seeing what’s going on with the federal government,” she said. “The impacts in our community are quite noticeable. With closures, lost income we have just a lot of people are suffering because of this, and we want to see our community thrive.”
