On January 13, 2024, I attended the March4Gaza in Washington, D.C. Here are my thoughts about and images from the march.
All in Demonstrations
Sadness, Horror, Pride, & Joy
Earlier this week I was in Washington, D.C. covering the March for Israel, which drew over 290,000 people from across the country. Here are my thoughts about and photographs from the day.
Gobsmacked in Brooklyn
I spent Saturday at a rally outside the Brooklyn Museum, followed by a march that shut down the Brooklyn Bridge. By far the most newsworthy aspect of the day was the Hassidic Jews who marched with the Palestinian Community because the they believe Israel is in the wrong. Here are my thoughts about what was a very tiring day, as well as the images I captured.
9/11
On September 11, 2023, I spent a good portion of my day at the 9/11 Memorial Site in New York City and in the streets surrounding the site. Here are my observations about and images from my experience.
On the Vanguard
I spent four mornings checking out the WGA, SAG, AFTRA strike in New York City this week. It was then off to an afternoon of tea and cake. Here are my thoughts about and images from the writers’ and actors’ strike.
Peruvian Protest
While headed north from the Lower East Side, I found myself in New York City’s Union Square today, where about 25 demonstrators were holding a rally in support of Peruvian President Pedro Castillo Terrones, who was ousted from office and imprisoned during a December 7, 2022 coup. Here are my thoughts about and images from this demonstration.
