Hundreds March to Defend Voting Rights | New York City News

Over 100 people boarded buses from Harlem early Friday morning, heading to Washington D.C. for a massive voting rights rally — part of a growing movement to defend mail-in ballots amid a heated legal battle over the USPS and election rules. With up to nine buses already packed and more on the way, activists from New York and New Jersey are converging at the Lincoln Memorial for the “March on Washington - Defend the Vote.” Just days before, a federal judge struck down the Trump administration’s plan, though the White House plans to appeal — even as the Supreme Court recently lifted a block on an executive order affecting mail-in voting. Local organizers and marchers alike stressed that the Postal Service’s role is to deliver ballots, not dictate election procedures. The rally kicks off at 9 AM — a pivotal moment as citizens mobilize to ensure every voice is heard and voting remains accessible.
