This week, hundreds of furious demonstrators showed up outside of New York City mayor Bill de Blasio’s house to perform a “noisy” protest in an attempt to show him what they’ve had to deal with the last several months.

Late Monday evening, protestors crowded the streets of Manhattan to take the mayor to task as they believe he’s made no attempt to respond to the egregious amount of fireworks being set off all over the city every night until 3 or 4 a.m.
Because the ongoing noise pollution has prevented millions of New Yorkers (and people around the country who’ve shared similar complaints) from being able to sleep at night they group felt perhaps the mayor needed to see for himself what that feels like.

Protestors showed up in their vehicles and honked their horns outside Gracie Mansion to give the Mayor a taste of what it feels like to have to try and sleep through the noise.
We need to send a message that we need to end these chaotic fireworks that’s been happening across the city.”
