Outside the UN

The United Nations General Assembly held its 81st annual session this week. Not surprisingly, the meeting attracted a number of groups who wanted to address issues facing those who remained in their ancestral homelands. I was fortunate enough to be in New York City to attend several of those demonstrations. Here are my thoughts about and images about what transpired.

To commemorate the anniversary of the election that brought Donald J. Trump to power for a second time, several groups held a rally on the National Mall near the Washington Monument on November 5th, 2025. Somewhere between 500 and 1,000 joined together, many dressed in fanciful costumes inspired by the demonstrators in Portland, Oregon. The group then marched to the Capitol and the U.S. Supreme Court. Here are my thoughts about the demonstration and the images that I captured.
