“A March About Nothing!” - On-the-Ground at No Kings Harlem Rally

This video provides an on-the-ground report of the “No Kings” rally in Harlem, examining its purpose, organization, and reception. The reporter investigates the march’s messaging, the motivations of its participants, and the concerns surrounding its alignment with specific political agendas.

Key Points:

• The “No Kings” march is described as a Democrat-oriented protest group organizing anti-Trump rallies.
• The march’s messaging does not include opposition to US-Israeli wars.
• The march is supported by neocons and corporate GOP lobbyists, raising questions about its true agenda.
• The march had no clear demands or agenda, resembling the Women’s March in its lack of specific goals.
• Flyers with pre-approved chants were distributed, and participants were discouraged from chanting about issues like “Free Palestine.”
• The reporter observed that the march lacked diversity, with a low percentage of Black participants despite being held in Harlem.
• Participants expressed varying motivations for attending, including concerns about Trump’s respect for the Constitution.
• Some attendees felt the march did not address the immediate needs of Black voters.
• The march’s organizers appeared hesitant to engage with questions about policy demands or the exclusion of the “Free Palestine” chant.
• Concerns were raised about the march being an astroturf event meant to steer people towards a pro-war, corporate agenda.
• The exclusion of the “Free Palestine” chant was attributed to the idea that defending Israel is seen as defending Jewish people, despite the Israeli government’s actions.
• The speaker also touches on Joe Biden’s political history and past comments.
• The Harlem march was a smaller offshoot of a larger event in Times Square, with numerous similar marches occurring across the country.
• The speaker suggests that these marches are well-attended, possibly more so than the Women’s March.
