On Saturday, November 16 (2013), approximately 50 people of Dominican ancestry and nearly a dozen non-Dominicans marched nine miles from 207th street and Seamen Avenue in Inwood to the final destination of 1501 Broadway (between 43rd and 44th streets) in Manhattan, where the Dominican Consulate is housed. The protest -- organized by Anthony Stevens-Acevedo in conjunction with We Are All Dominican -- was in response to the recent TC/0168/13 sentence by the Constitutional Court of the Dominican Republic that denies and nullifies the Dominican nationality of persons born in the Dominican Republic to immigrant parents. The march cut across Washington Heights, Morningside Heights, the Upper West Side, and Columbus Circle among a slew of other New York City neighborhoods, thus culminating in Time Square. Some protesters walked the first half while others joined at different points. Some spectators even joined the group once they were informed of the cause. Nonetheless, the majority of those who started the journey finished it!
