Constituents convene for third protest in 10 days outside Donovan’s Dyker office
Over 200 medical professionals, local activists and everyday constituents came together outside of Congressmember Dan Donovan’s district office on 13th Avenue in Dyker Heights on Saturday, February 25 for the third protest in 10 days, the goal of which was to make the congressmember aware of his constituents’ support for the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
According to participant Dr. Cameron Page, assistant professor of medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital, the Dyker Heights rally was sort of a tale of two protests.
“It was a nice combination of medical professionals and just ordinary citizens,” said Page, who was there to rally alongside health professionals from Mount Sinai, Montefiore, NYU and other health institutions in support of the ACA, Medicaid and Planned Parenthood.
