Two days of protest in New York: Michael Bloomberg, New York's billionaire mayor who bought his second term in November 2005, hadn't planned on being confronted by nearly a hundred protesters during his extravagant inauguration on New Year's Day. But there they were, picketing on Broadway across from City Hall. Their 50-square-foot banner demanded justice for survivors of the hurricanes that devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. A second, separate protest was at the Rainbow/Push Wall Street conference on Jan. 8 at the Sheraton Hotel.
