> I sat it out while the group led by mostly White ENTHUSIASTIC youth
> attempted to take the Brooklyn Bridge. Having marched from Union Sq to
> Foley Sq, I sat it out! I am a bonafide real Senior (Citizen)! I was
> NOT about to march on to Brooklyn. IT'S WINDY & COLD on that Bidge.

> I see in the news that the group(s) Mass Incarceration Network Rally
> from Union Sq AND ACLU Rally from Foley Sq who had merged were
