Free Palestine protestors attempted to disrupt the Lunar New Year parade in NYC by shouting "Ceasefire Now" and "Free Palestine" from a fire escape near the parade route, where politicians including Sen. Chuck Schumer and Gov. Kathy Hochul were giving speeches. Despite the disruption, the parade proceeded with thousands of participants from out of town, featuring 18 floats and 100 marching bands, and Mayor Eric Adams, who arrived late, briefly addressed the crowd before being escorted away by the NYPD.
