Republican National Convention – New York City
The convergence on Manhattan by those opposed to Bush was widespread, peaceful and unfortunately harassed by a politicized NYPD.
Sunday’s march was the centerpiece of resistance as half a million people passed Madison Square Garden, site of the RNC. Acting as book ends to Sunday’s historic action satellite events scattered throughout Manhattan created another kind of convention as large as the Big Apple itself representing labor, pro choice, and the peace movement. In the end what will be remembered is the huge display of people power and a government more concerned with media appearance than civil rights.
