Two days after Gov. Kathy Hochul announced she would seek to impose new guardrails on Mayor Eric Adams’ authority rather than use her executive power to remove him “at this time,” a few hundred New Yorkers rallied and marched on Feb. 22, demanding that she reverse her decision and give Hizzoner the boot.
The rally was organized by the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), an umbrella policy & advocacy organization representing over 200 immigrant and refugee rights groups throughout New York State. It kicked off in Washington Square Park before protesters marched to City Hall in Lower Manhattan.
