As for the march itself, protesters met at Zucotti Park at 11am on Dec. 1st, 2011. After having different HIV patients and services providers speak, the group proceeded to march to city hall. On Broadway across from city hall, around 10 protesters chained themselves together in the middle of the street in an act of civil disobedience. Traffic was blocked and the police arrested the protesters. Vocal New York has done a great job in making the needs of the poorest and sickest segments of the population visible.
