Health Workers Protest

BY Paul Ninson from New York, NY

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, a disproportionate number of lives have been lost among communities of color and the working people of New York City.

1 in 2000 Black Americans has died from the coronavirus. 1 in 1000 young black men is at risk of dying from police violence. The frontline physicians said “While we continue to treat those who cannot breathe inside the hospital, we also choose to stand alongside those in the streets struggling to breathe”

Tens of thousands of people protested across the United States and in major world cities for a seventh night as outrage over police brutality intensified over the death of George Floyd.
