In her welcoming remarks, Campos-Pons told the crowd that, rather than a protest, “this is a walk of love,betef casino a walk for hope, a walk for the future, a walk for people who precede us and for people who are not yet here.” Billed as a “Procession of Angels for Radical Love and Unity,” the event spans two mornings in September. Last Saturday’s route started at the Harlem Art Park, a cobblestone site on East 120th Street in the heart of a neighborhood home to African Americans and people from Puerto Rican, Mexican, Caribbean, and African diasporas. The second procession is on Sept. 20 and will begin in Central Park and end in Madison Square Park, in the wealthy Flatiron district.

At the 2025 Munich Security Conference, you report, “Vice President JD Vance urged European leaders on Friday to end the isolation of far-right parties across the continent, an extraordinary embrace of a once-fringe political movement.”

These political parties have a history of pro-Nazi behaviors and antisemitism. In his poisonous matchmaking, Mr. Vance both ignores this history and repudiates America’s profound investment in the struggle against totalitarianism.

Shame on the Trump administration for this dual acceptance of antisemitic parties and repudiation of America’s leadership over the past eight decades — and in Munich of all places!

While advising Europeans to stop shunning extreme-right political parties, Vice President JD Vance said, “There is no room for firewalls.”

This was from the second in charge of an administration that won’t allow climate change to be mentioned in official documents, stifles teaching or talk about the evils of our history of slavery, shuns mention of D.E.I. and bars news reporters who work for media that continue to call the Gulf of Mexico by the name the international community has recognized for centuries.
