For Father's Day 2012, twenty to fifty thousand people marched silently down 5th Avenue to demand an end to Mayor Bloomberg's racially-biased "Stop & Frisk" policing.

Picture the Homeless was honored to be part of that crew, along with so many of our partners in Communities United for Police Reform, faith communities, labor unions, and more.

Here are 100 of our best photos from the march itself, available as a set on our Flickr page.
