Interview with Natalie James, Chairperson of Reclaim Pride Coalition. RCP organized a  Queer Pride March last year, separate from the corporate march. RCP has held two protests against  Samaritan's Purse, (SP) an anti-queer, anti Muslim, anti-abortion  "Christian" organization that, sponsored by Mt Sinai Hospital, set up a field hospital in central park. SP demanded that people wanting to work  in the field hospital sign a "statement of faith"  in SP's principles in order to work there.  RCP's second press conference and rally, May 3rd, 2020, was shut down by the NYPD . We will also play sound from the press conference.
