HUNDREDS of New Yorkers marched across the Brooklyn Bridge of Monday to protest the city's vaccine mandate for municipal workers that is set to go into effect on Friday.
Holding signs that read 'My Body, My Choice' and chanting 'No Vaccine Mandate', the crowd marched from downtown Brooklyn to City Hall in Manhattan.

Before the march, one of the organizers of the protest told the crowd in Brooklyn, "As a pandemic winds down, we've gone from the pots and pans of last summer, from the parade in the Canyon of Heroes, to ultimatums and pink slips. Today is a day in which we, the workers of this great city, stand up to unreasonable mandates."
Last week New York Mayor Bill de Blasio ordered all city employees to show proof of inoculation against COVID-19 or be placed on unpaid leave, drawing criticism from a police union which vowed to fight the mandate in court.
The mayor set a deadline of 5 pm on Friday, Oct. 29, for employees to show proof to a supervisor. Seventy-one percent of all 160,000 New York City workers have already received at least one dose, the mayor said.
