Essential workers deliver a letter to Cuomo demanding he sign the NY Hero Act for employment protections.
Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Midtown office has swiftly become the unofficial hub of protests, rallies, and press conferences ever since the embattled head of state faced a slew of sexual misconduct allegations. The afternoon of April 28 was no different as essential workers continue to place mounting pressure on the governor to sign the NY Hero Act.
The scene outside 633 3rd Avenue was more akin to a vigil than a rally. The sidewalk was coated with candles, a large banner, and a gigantic mask with the words “50k+ dead still no protection. Pass NY Hero Act” scrawled over it. Essential workers gathered around the makeshift memorial who have seen the horror the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought.
