Global Day honors Egyptian revolution

Published Jan 29, 2012 6:10 PM

A rally made up mostly of people of Egyptian ancestry gathered in Times Square at midday on Jan. 21 to join in a Global Day of Action supporting the one-year anniversary of the beginning of the Egyptian revolution that removed former President Hosni Mubarak from office.

Similar rallies and marches took place in dozens of cities around the world, including Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Washington, D.C., in the U.S.; Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver in Canada; Melbourne and Sydney in Australia; and Paris and Rome in Europe.

U.S.-based groups extending solidarity included the International Action Center, represented in the photo by co-director Sara Flounders, speaking. Just behind her is Joyce Chediac, who delivered a solidarity message from Workers World Party to the Egyptian people present.
