Thousands of workers gathered in New York on Monday and marched across the Brooklyn Bridge, protesting coronavirus vaccine mandates while engaging in a series of chants, including "Hold the Line!" and "Fuck Joe Biden!"
The anti-mandate protest took place Monday following New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's (D) announcement last week, mandating the vaccine for city workers, affecting 160,500 city employees, including first responders. Those who fail to show proof of their first vaccination by Friday, October 29 at 5 p.m. Eastern risk being placed on unpaid leave.
The announcement triggered immense backlash. New York City's Police Benevolent Association (PBA), for example, vowed to take legal action against the mayor and his administration over the coercive mandate.
But on Monday, workers took their dismay to the streets, marching across the Brooklyn Bridge in a show of solidarity against the intrusive mandates issued by the mayor. Videos show protesters holding signs and shouting as they make their way across the bridge. The ever-popular "Fuck Joe Biden," as well as "Fuck de Blasio," was among the chants heard amongst the crowd.
