Gotham Gazette: March Shows Changing Climate for [New York] City Protest
http://www.gothamgazette.com/index.php/opinion/5326-peoples-climate-march-shows-changing-climate-for-city-protest-hamm-snip-
As illustrated by its slick subway ad campaign, and the participation of leading political figures including U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, this Sunday's People's Climate March intends to make a dramatic statement.
Led by the environmental activist group 350.org, the event's organizers promise the "largest climate change march in history." With numerous labor and community organizations on-board, it's likely that the protest will reach its goal of bringing 150-200,000 people to NYC streets.
But the mostly low-profile route of the march suggests that the right to protest on the streets of NYC remains under assault.
