March west along Chambers St.

Tuesday, March 19 marks the 16th anniversary of the U.S. "Shock and Awe" invasion of Iraq. Despite a formal withdrawal of troops in 2011, this U.S.-led military operation was renewed in 2014 as Operation Inherent Resolve and continues in Iraq to this day.
We will march past several military recruiting offices along Chambers Street, to BMCC, where students, many of them economically disadvantaged, are regularly targeted by recruiters to join the armed forces.
