Demonstrators held banners saying "Trump Lies, People Die" in protest against the U.S. federal government's ineffective response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the candlelit march crossed the Brooklyn Bridge to honor people who have died from the pandemic in the U.S. 

As of Friday evening, the U.S. has had more than 5.6 million infections and over 175,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.
