7. Which march?
The earlier one from Union Square at 1:00 to MSG was the poverty march.

However, these things blend. The later march, 4 p.m. at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, started marching at 5:40 p.m., was "March for Our Lives" which was also heavily about poverty.

Groups intermingle. Many of the people from the first protest march were at the second.

First march had about 7,000 people, no arrests that I know of.

Second march had about 5,000 people, one person arrested along 23rd St., I believe more arrested later, and a scuffle with the police after they started closing people in barricades to segment us. Lots and lots of cops with helmets at the second march, and they did not keep any distance from us. Lines of them would move into the crowd, even before we left Dag Hammarskjold.
