On the eve of the NYC budget decision -June 29, 2020-, hundreds of protesters gathered at Washington Square Park for a massive march to City Hall, marching in support of the #OccupyCityHall action for NYPD budget cuts, making a loud call for the defunding of the police force and invest in communities. This comes after NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio promised 'intense change' with police reform proposals, cutting at least 1 billion dollars from the NYPD budget. (Photo by Erik McGregor/Sipa USA)No Use UK.
