As President Donald Trump signed his “Big Beautiful Bill” into law at a White House military family picnic on July 4, around 75 demonstrators gathered across from Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan sounding the alarm that the new legislation would harm the most vulnerable Americans.
Physicians for a National Health Program NY Metro, Indivisible, and Rise and Resist organized the Independence Day protest. Julie DeLaurier, a member of the political action group Rise and Resist, said the protesters were gut-punched and horrified at what she described as Republicans’ “gleeful” cruelty.
