"We Want to Stand Up & Be Counted": New Yorkers Speak Out at NYC's Day Without a Woman Rally
by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#2FA7R)
In New York, thousands of women marched from Washington Square Park past the site of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, the deadliest workplace accident in New York City's history and a seminal moment for the American labor rights movement. They proceeded past the historic LGBTQ landmark, Stonewall Inn, in the West Village and then ended the march in Zuccotti Park, the site of the 2011 Occupy Wall Street uprising. Democracy Now!'s Deena Guzder and Charina Nadura spoke to some of the protesters.
