Stand for freedom at UN

Met up with a big voting rights rally called by NAACP& others today listening & Watching big screen!
"We are the leaders we have been waiting for!"
"Occupy the voting booth"

Senator chuck showed up saying he had biked from Brooklyn!



My favorite quote was from a Muslim Imam- "we've heard a lot from some that want to take back America.... To a time when voters paid poll taxes.... We want to take America forward!!!"
Saw friends from Vets 4 Peace



And also saw Cheryl and little Lucy!! Braving the cold
To champion the rights of voters! And immigrants.




After the rally I walked over to grand central where thousands flocked to the apple store...and thousands of Santa's helpers swarmed the city.


Finished the day with a documentary movie downtown - free showing about the horrendous disaster in 1984 in Bhopal India http://www.bhopalithemovie
One man on the left was in the movie because he is a survivor of Bhopal, because his sister wrapped him in a blanket and ran from the explosion. His parents and 5 siblings died.


Quite a busy activist day in NYC.

Peace & love
