Photos: New NYC Bike Sharing Stations!

This Monday the nation's largest city launches the nation's biggest bike sharing program. New York City has been gearing up for the opening of Citi Bike for months and I happened to be in the Big Apple a few weeks ago shortly after the city started installing their bike station infrastructure and before the bikes were docked.

Here are some photos from the Bowling Green-Financial District and West Thames Street-Battery Park City bike sharing stations.

Photos and Video: Gun Safety Vigil in Vienna, Virginia

Pictures and video from a community vigil in Vienna, Virginia just outside Washington, D.C. to remember the Newtown and other gun violence victims and for Congress to pass stronger gun laws. The gathering took place only days before the U.S. Senate shamefully voted down common sense gun reform.

The candlelight vigil was called "We Have Not Forgotten" and was an Organizing for Action event. OFA is President Obama's grassroots mobilization to help pass his second term agenda.

Photos and Video: K Street 5K To Get Money Out of Politics

Big money lobbyists had some unwelcome company on K Street this past April 13th as hundreds of demonstrators dressed in hundred dollar bills marched down "Influence Alley" to protest money in politics and advocate for anti-corruption reforms in Congress.

Check out photos and video from the "K Street 5K," which was organized by United Republic's Represent.Us campaign.
