Race/Racism

The 19th of June featured thousands of protesters in the streets of DC for march after march. A massive party took over 14th and U towards evening, and a "Fuck the Police" march set out from the White House at sunset. This march wound it's way to MPD's headquarters-and proceeded to pull down the statue of Confederate general Albert Pike located right next to MPD!

On the 15th of June, activists occupied Freedom Plaza with the intention of holding the plaza for 36 hours. This was in response to a City Council hearing concerning MPD's budget for which hundreds attempted to register but very few were ever permitted to speak.

On the 13th of June, march after march took to the streets of DC for George Floyd. The NJNP march to Mayor Bowser's house was just one of many. A late afternoon march went from Malcolm X Park to Trump Hotel and back. That one featured a strong bicycle cavalry block, which managed to put cops on bicycles to flight and even surround motorcycle cops and escort them out.
