Protest outside Australian Consulate in New York
- 3 years ago
Protesters with the New York Freedom Rally’s Teachers March against vaccine mandates made their way to the Australian Consulate on Monday, demonstrating against the country’s lockdown measures.
Speeches were held outside the Midtown Manhattan skyscraper hosting the Consulate General office, with demonstrators chanting ‘Save Australia!’ throughout the afternoon. Videos of government measures and police responses to anti-lockdown protests in Australia have been circulating in recent months on social media in the US.
An earlier protest outside the NYC Department of Education drew hundreds in Brooklyn, where the group then brought out Australian flags as they marched towards the consulate, roughly 150-200 protesting there after marching throughout the afternoon in the city.
