Steps off from Duarte Square (6th Ave. & Canal St.) 11 AM, Saturday, October 18
This Saturday, October 18, everyone in our unionâin our city–has a chance to stand against rising fascism at the No Kings mobilization. Register here to march with the PSC in the No Kings Labor March, a feeder march that will start at 11 AM from Duarte Square, 6th Avenue & Canal Street (map). A powerful coalition of labor unions will march up 6th Avenue and converge with other groups at 14th Street.
Donât be confused if you see No Kings communications from other organizations that say the march will begin at Times Square at 47th and 7th. Some groups will start there but the cityâs labor movement will meet at Duarte Square (6th Ave. and Canal St.). We will all meet up at 14th Street.
Bring neighbors, friends, and family. Letâs Make this Big!
Next Thursday September 25, New Yorkers will march in Downtown Manhattan against ICE detentions in New York City. Come join your union, city workers, politicians, and fellow New Yorkers on Thursday 9/25 6 PM at Foley Square.
DEMAND:
Join LABOR Unions Across NYC to demand: NO CUTS TO WORKING PEOPLE TO FUND TAX BREAKS FOR BILLIONAIRES AND CORPORATIONS!
