Annual Easter day parade on 5th avenue in Manhattan
Tonight IFC center in Manhattan hosted a free preview of the new movie made by Michael Moore about Donald Trump. There were about 10 times more people in line waiting for a ticket than the actual no of tickets available (aprox 200).
Today, people on Roosevelt Island organized a peaceful rally against the local Public Safety Department, an organization which theoretically should provide a safe environment for island residents (more than 14000), which lately, under current leadership, displayed a pattern of brutality and abusive behavior against the very same people they are supposed to protect. Images of this rally below:
Did you hear about the Occupy Wall Street protest? What started in downtown Manhattan in Zucotti park last year in September, spread worldwide.

If you want more reading, additional information on this link: Occupy Wall .
But I did accomplish something – very nice pictures posted below, and a little movie posted here.
