A DAY OF REVOLUTIONARY
LOVE & RESISTANCE
In New York, hundreds of activists
gathered in Washington Square park in a
response to the current racist, misogynist,
xenophobic political climate where the
rights of women, refugees, immigrants,
Muslims, LGBTQIAGNC people, African
Americans, the indigenous, and the poor
are at serious risk.
The rally was a radical collective
experience, featuring song, dance, poetry,
testimony, and revolutionary love.
