From Duncan Nichols:
Henry Nichols and Stephen Kastner are seen here, as well as myself. Stephen did a lot of the organizing for this. 
There were about 7 of us, one of whom was an Algerian-American passerby, joining us and taking one of our signs to hold. Also Lindsey Putnam of Standing Trees with her partner, came from some distance with signs and a  creative act of a child's shirt on a clothes hanger representing the million children of Gaza-- the shirt, if I remember correctly, calling for a ceasefire. An Armenian-American mother and daughter stopped and talked with us, also expressing solidarity. Also, Isaac Evans-Frantz joined us for a while.

The response was about 25 calls to Rep. Becca Balint on the spot from passersby, many giving positive responses, and a very few remarks from passersby that we don't care about the Israeli people. We hope of the hundreds who passed  us on this busy day on Church St. some went home and called, or will soon.
"Our message was no genocide and ceasefire now. Your congressperson wants to hear from you."

I assume there were many many such solidarity rallies calling for a ceasefire across the United States and the world. 
WOW, GRAND CENTRAL STATION   WOW WASHINGTON D.C.!!!   WE HAVE TO STOP THIS WAR MACHINE OF THE U.S. and ISRAEL. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE AND SHAMELESS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. 
THE U.S IS CLEARLY COMPLICIT IN THESE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.  BESIDES PUSHING FOR A CEASEFIRE, AMERICANS NEED TO HEAR THIS, WHAT THEIR GOVERNMENT IS DOING. MAYBE SOME WILL TRANSLATE IT TO WHAT WE ARE DOING IN PROLONGING, AND LIKELY HAVING CAUSED, THE WAR IN UKRAINE. WHERE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS HAVE DIED IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS.
