Hi friends,
My plan was to post good news today and take Thursday off, because I am spending tomorrow in Albany. The preparations for tomorrow interfered with my plans to post.
If you can get out on Thursday afternoon, there’s an intersectional demonstration in midtown convening at the intersection of Madison Avenue and 51st Street:
NYC activists committed to diverse causes ranging from prison abolition to gender justice to climate justice are coming together for a National Day of Action to demand justice for the police murder of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, #StopCopCity Forest Defender Tortuguita, and all others lost and impacted by police violence and terror.
If you need a review of the issues, a post I wrote about six weeks ago touched on the killings of both Tyre Nichols and Tortuguita, and explores some of the connections between police violence and other kinds of oppression.
I’ll be back Friday with good news and some action!
with love,
L
