Thousands of demonstrators marched peacefully along Seventh Avenue from 47th Street to 14th Street yesterday as part of the nationwide "No Kings" rallies protesting President Trump's policies and agenda. 

EVG's Stacie Joy took these photos along 14th Street, from Seventh Street to between Avenue A and Avenue B, where the NYPD had a large staging area for mass arrests that never occurred. An NYPD official told us there weren't any protest-related arrests, which the NYPD News account confirmed this in a post. 

The NYPD also estimated the march size at 100,000 people... here are a few of the participants...

Thousands of people gathered to "voice their fears and anger" in Washington Square Park early last evening hours after the Supreme Court officially reversed Roe v. Wade, declaring that the constitutional right to abortion upheld for nearly 50 years no longer exists.

Published reports put the crowd size between 10,000 and 17,000.

The assembled protestors eventually split off into different groups, with some going up Fifth Avenue to Union Square, where many continued on to Midtown ... while others headed downtown to Foley Square before eventually crossing the Brooklyn Bridge... 

Tonight in Washington Square Park, Union Square

Thousands of people are expected to turn out this evening for rallies scheduled in Washington Square Park at 6:30 and Union Square at 8. More details here.

At the rally in Foley Square to support abortion rights

A crowd estimated in the thousands turned up at Foley Square downtown late this afternoon in protest of the leaked SCOTUS draft that would overturn Roe v. Wade. 

Protestors gathered and politicians scrambled to speak out following the bombshell report last night at Politico indicating that conservative justices are poised to vote to overturn a landmark ruling that guarantees access to legal abortions. (The Supreme Court confirmed that the leaked abortion draft is authentic.)

New York City: It's time to fight back.

Join me, advocacy groups, and other elected officials at 5PM in Foley Square to say #BansOffOurBodies and support abortion rights. #RoeVWade

"We, here in New York, must set up a fund to ensure that any woman, anywhere in the country, can look to New York as a safe haven that will allow them to make the reproductive health care decisions that are best for them," New York Attorney General Letitia James said. "This won't make things right, but it will give women nationwide one way to rest easy." 

Other speakers included Amy Schumer...

Some attendees later headed north to Houston Street en route to Washington Square Park...
