Protesters marched from Union Square through the East Village and, according to the Times, "hopped a barricade onto F.D.R. Drive."
EVG reader Brian Polay shared photos of a banner hanging in front of the St. Mark's Church-in-The-Bowery on Second Avenue and East 10th Street.

IMO poverty is the common thread to these injustices and not just the race of the victims although we still have a long way to go on that front. The poor are victims of crime more than the wealthy and are singled out as perps due to the color of their skin. I support these peaceful protests.
