Thousands of New Yorkers took to the streets today as part of a nationwide day of action advocating for "no work, no school, no shopping" to protest the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Minneapolis and elsewhere.
In the East Village, there was a "ShutDown Sit-Down" outside La MaMa on Fourth Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue.
"Let's sit in solidarity and show our neighbors that we care," organizers Lois Weaver and Peggy Shaw said.
On Houston Street, we spotted some students heading to Foley Square, a gathering spot for protesters.
