Protesters Shut Down New York's Brooklyn Bridge to Demand Fair Housing
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York, hundreds of people led a march that shut down the
Brooklyn Bridge Saturday, protesting soaring rent prices and demanding
elected officials address the city's worsening housing crisis.
Protesters called for new legislation that would protect tenants from
sudden evictions and rent hikes, as well as for the city to enact a
program for rent assistance.
