Eric Garner/Michael Brown Demo, Rockefeller Center, NYC

After having dinner with my family on E. 50th Street, I came across this tiny but vocal demonstration. The small group crossed from one corner to the next, walking in a square pattern at the intersection at 50th St. and 5th Avenue. Each time they reached a corner, they chanted loudly and then stepped off the curb, crossing the street to the next corner. Over and over again. There were more cops than demonstrators and more tourists than both combined.

Since then, Ferguson, Staten Island, and the rest of the whole damned militarized country

Rally at Foley Square, NYC, last Thursday. Lots of really good people there.

People's Climate Change March, 6th Avenue, New York

At first, people waiting and milling around. I'm with the Zen Center/Zen Mountain Monastery. Everyone's in a pretty good mood.

The march finally begins.

as we come around Columbus Circle, we see the thousands of marchers who have come down from the higher avenues, waiting for us to pass so they can join the march

Cops doing their job - what we used to call "the white shirt" (from olden days of NYC protests), who is the guy in charge - telling us (all 10,000 of us) to "hurry up" so the other marchers can join us. Hurry up?

We pass Central Park and a group of meditators, and lots of onlookers and happy supporters sitting on rocks.. 

 A good place to have your drinks cart - everyone's thirsty!

The Hare Krishnas were amazing. They provided lots of great spirit and a fantastic sound track to the march.

Getting closer to 42nd Street and the end of the march.
