NEW YORK, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Hundreds of people marched on Wall Street to campaign for an array of issues, including economic justice, and diversity and inclusion, in downtown New York on Thursday.
"We're coming to Wall Street instead of Washington this year," said Reverend Al Sharpton, one of the event's organizers. He accused Wall Street of benefiting from government tax cuts at the expense of programs such as Medicaid and food assistance.
"Corporate elites are running America, and we want to try and do something about that," said Jackie Barham, a marcher who attended with other members of Brooklyn Baptist Church. "One of my main concerns is corporate greed right now and how we have so many people that are making so much money, and their interest in the government."
Protesters chanted, "No justice, no peace." Some held signs that read "Billionaires back off," and "We want economic justice."
The march was convened to “push back on corporate America’s retreat from diversity, equity, and inclusion under pressure from the Trump administration, and spotlight the economic power of Black communities,” its organizers said in a statement before the event.

That's a new one.
That’s like your trash drawing a skunk looking for food. If you don’t let it feast it’ll spray accusations of racism all round.
There is no such thing as ‘economic justice’.
You get what you earn....................
Economic justice = Gibmedats
Long past time for the IRS to finally collect Sharpton’s $4M+ tax bill.
Yes, there is economic injustice—the forced confiscation of wages by the government from successful, hard working people—for distribution to those leeching off those that do work.
Only illegal aliens get maximum food assistance according to what I’ve gathered.
US citizens may get some amount of help, but the maximum goes to the democrat’s protected, imported voters no matter whether they are elderly who haven’t worked a day in the US, crippled or criminal. The illegals with major health issues are busting the US medical system and raising health insurance prices for all US citizens including elderly US citizens who have been funneled into medicare advantage HMOs.
Hundreds! 🤣🤣🤣
Sharpton is grifting Wall Street now? Hopefully they realize that his days are over and tell him they already gave at the office.
economic justice, and diversity and inclusion,

IOW
Communism.
only hundreds? rent-a-mob pay must not be competitive any longer, either that or USAID money hasn’t been replaced with private donations ...
Something for nuffin
How much money did Sharpie get from Soros? Blackrock?
OMG! Having racist big mouth Al Sharpton on board tells the public that this is only for show. No credibility needs to be attributed to this dog-and-pony show.
“We’re coming to Wall Street instead of Washington this year,” said Reverend Al Sharpton,
Doesn’t Sharpton owe $millions in back taxes?
