On Saturday, hundreds of thousands across the country turned out for their local Keep Families Together march, with 25,000 taking part in the NYC march. The National Day of Action denounced the Trump administration's immigration policy, and called for the reuniting of families who have been separated at the border. This came at the end of what The Atlantic calls "one of the worst single weeks for progressive policy in decades" — protest signs reflected this, along with rally calls to get out and vote in November's midterm elections.

The march began at Foley Square in Manhattan just before 11 a.m., and made its way across Brooklyn Bridge. The whole thing ended in Brooklyn's Cadman Plaza with a rally. While the rally was set to conclude around 1 p.m., the amount off people who showed up led to a bottleneck situation on the bridge, and the last marchers weren't able to step off from Foley Square until 2 p.m. Despite the heatwave, the large groups in Lower Manhattan, on the bridge, and in Brooklyn held strong.

There were a number of speakers at the rally in Cadman Plaza, including Ravi Ragbir (New Sanctuary Coalition), Padma Lakshmi, Amy Schumer, Al Sharpton, Rama Issa (Arab American Association of NY), Kerry Washington, and U.S. House Representatives Yvette Clarke, Carolyn Maloney, Nydia Velázquez, Jerrold Nadler, and Adriano Espaillat. Washington gave an impassioned speech (watch it here), declaring, "I will not stand for somebody else turning this country further down the road of racism and disenfranchisement — enough is enough!"
