Gun Control Protest at City Hall This Weekend Funded by Ex-Mayor Bloomberg

Murray Weiss

MANHATTAN — Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg is underwriting a gun control demonstration at City Hall this weekend, DNAinfo New York has learned.

The rally is scheduled for Saturday morning at 10 a.m. with protesters gathering in Cadman Plaza in Downtown Brooklyn and then marching across the Brooklyn Bridge to City Hall.

Speakers and demonstrators will not be allowed inside City Hall grounds or onto the front steps of the building where Bloomberg worked for a dozen years, sources said.

Instead, the parade permit lets attendees congregate outside the gates and fences surrounding City Hall Park, where they will listen to speeches calling for tighter gun control and initiatives to reduce gun violence, sources said.
