View of Orleans Parish Prison During May Day Protest, New Orleans, LA
Description (Dublin Core)
A view of Orleans Parish Prison (OPP) from the May Day Protest. People inside of the prison waved to the procession as they honked their horns. One of the demands of the protest was to evacuate prisoners from OPP during COVID-19 to prevent them from being exposed to the virus. In observance of May Day, the international workers' rights holiday, New Orleans Hospitality Workers Alliance organized a socially-distanced protest that included bikes and cars. The protestors' demands included free healthcare and testing for hospitality workers, hazard pay and access to protective gear, housing as a human right, freeing incarcerated people, and unemployment assistance through the end of 2020.
