In Union Square, on May Day, an ironworker and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito forged a brief connection as they took a selfie together, left. A demonstrator brandished a plastic-protected Guy Fawkes “V for Vendetta” mask, right. Though the mask is used by some as a symbol of anarchy and Occupy Wall Street, the image is licensed by a multinational corporation, Warner Bros., which earns royalties on each mask sold. Immigrant rights was the main issue of the “99 percent” at this May Day’s rally.
