Abolitionists in NYC marched from Grand Central (which NYPD tried to shut down to repress the march) to NYC Dept. Of Corrections' citywide HQ tonite to demand that NYC #ShutDownRikers with #NoNewJails. Protesters did a mass fare evasion & put up radical artwork along the way.
Literally every day there’s a new story like this
