Hundreds of New Yorkers marched through Washington Heights in solidarity with tens of thousands of Marcha Verde protesters in the Dominican Republic on July 16, the day of massive anti-corruption protests in the nation’s capital, Santo Domingo.

The Marcha Verde movement was launched in January 2017 amid widespread allegations of public corruption in the country, which the organization has condemned en masse while calling for an end to the nationwide culture of impunity in governance. Credit: Instagram/et212 via Storyful
