The demonstrators consider their next step, via Nation writer Wen Stephenson:
Tune into the rally via live stream at one of these feeds:
The marchers have seized traffic on Broadway. Caught in the jam is at least one tour bus.
Energy-hogging helicopters are in the sky to surveil the climate protesters:
The police have deflated the carbon bubble. Not a popular move with the crowd.
The Guardian’s Adam Gabbatt is also at the march:
The Guardian’s Amanda Holpuch is at the march and gets a shot of protesters in the streets:
More chants of “whose streets? our streets!” and now, “whose planet? our planet!”
The protesters are walking among stopped traffic down Broadway (against traffic). “Whose streets, our streets!” they chant. There are barricades blocking the sidewalk from the street. In this case the barricades are keeping the marchers on the street and off the sidewalk.
The marchers have left the park and are headed toward the financial district.
They chant: “We’re changing up the system, we’re changing up the plan. We colonize [?] the water, we colonize the land.”
The protesters are “walking the wrong way on Broadway against traffic,” according to live streamer StopMotionSolo.
