Thousands of New Yorkers will gather for a mass rally and march in solidarity with Minneapolis-St. Paul and their call for a national “Day of Truth and Freedom” as they face an expanding occupation and escalating ICE violence. After a short program, the march will proceed from Union Square at 14th Street, past the Palantir offices at 18th Street, Home Depot on 23rd Street, and Jeff Bezos’s apartment building on 5th Avenue. This is our moment to demand an end to billionaire‑funded brutality, to shut down tech for ICE, and to say loudly: Hands Off Our Communities! Register on the webform at this link to march with the PSC contingent.
PSC members will gather at 3:45 PM at E. 16th Street and Union Square West on the park side of the street, near the subway entrances (map link). Dress warm and look for union staff in orange vests carrying red and white signs.

We also learn the fascinating origin story of the SEEK program. The screening, which is sponsored by our PSC Chapter and the CUNY Rising Alliance, directly follows the “Know Your Rights” workshop–in the same room.
