NYC’s Police Abolition movement followed through on their promise to disrupt the city with the third ftp demo. From chaining emergency doors open to gorilla gluing metrocard turnstiles, the Grassroots collective has definitely left an impression upon the city. The movement is demanding a transit system free of police presence, free fare, and accessibility for all citizens. Below you can see my photo from the #FTP3 #J31 demo as well as check out the full live stream on replay.

Walter Wallace Jr, who was shot 10x in West Philadelphia on October 26, is the latest Black Man to be killed by police. The incident has thrown more fuel ton a fire that has burned all summer nationwide which started with the death of George Floyd. Wednesday night a crowd of a little over 100 demonstrators took the streets of Brooklyn in a pure rage smashing windows, throwing trash, and lighting whatever they could find on fire.
