SUPPORT

Though the event began in the afternoon, protestors and activists stayed through sunset, cheering on the sidewalk and supporting the small businesses that were tabling nearby. 

​

Mary Jones, seen here in all gray, was one of the organizers for the event. In addition to the Women's March that focused on uplifting women's voices, she also organized a simultaneous Minority Businesses and Culture event where protestors could support small businesses. 

​

The event was organized in tandem with Long Island Peaceful Protest, a nonprofit organization that promotes and organizes non-violent protests against police brutality and systemic racism on Long Island.
