Bay Ridge holds march in solidarity with immigrants on MLK Jr. Day
“This is what democracy looks like” was one of many chants heard in Bay Ridge on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, as hundreds of people marched through the neighborhood in solidarity against racism, poverty and militarism.
The third annual march was held on Monday, January 15, and co-hosted by the Bay Ridge for Social Justice, an organization comprised of concerned residents of Southern Brooklyn who want to make a difference in the fight against discrimination, injustice, and racism, with Fight Back Bay Ridge, Arab American Association of New York, South Brooklyn Progressive Resistance and the Campaign to Take on Hate.
The group gathered at the Salam Arabic Lutheran Church, 414 80th Street, was ready to stand up against an array of injustices.
