More than 100 demonstrators rallied outside Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s Midtown office Monday, urging him to resist Republican-led budget cuts they say threaten health care, housing, education, and other essential programs.
Chanting “Hold the line or resign” and “Chuck be bold, do not fold,” protesters delivered hundreds of letters demanding Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, whose office is also located at 780 3rd Avenue, block GOP spending proposals ahead of a Sept. 30 government funding deadline.
