There’s a small crowd tonight, but it’s growing. Most are gathering in front of the JC and a few are gathering at the at 4th and Salmon. It’s feels like the pre-feds days.

BIPOC speaker at 4th and Salmon is talking about being peaceful so not to deter ppl from the JC. They worry, for when cops come out, POC would be most targeted. However, last night PPB attacked non-violent protesters. PPB doesn’t care.

Another speaker talks about Kalief Browder, who spent about 3 years in Rikers Island in 2010. He was only 16 and spent 2 years in solitary. There was no trial. After being released, Kalief committed suicide.
