Hundreds of people gathered last evening on Avenue D and Ninth Street — one of the many peaceful gatherings citywide against police brutality sparked by the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
The starting point for this protest is also the spot where several NYPD officers were involved in violent arrests on May 2.
EVG contributor Stacie Joy was at the start of the protest, which moved along Ninth Street to Avenue C and eventually to East Houston... the final stop was the Barclay's Center...

Beautiful photos and something uplifting to see. It's important to remember, amidst the sad stories about the looting and the robberies of places we love, is that the protests are for a just cause, and the overwhelming majority of those participating remain peaceful.
great photos
I was there to support my neighbors and community. It was fantastic to see so many people turn out and show solidarity. Peaceful rallies and marches like this are what we need to keep doing. Don't give up, stay strong and stay united!
Excellent photos, thanks!
Great photos and happy to see the peaceful protest, its long time coming for change. humans should not have to live in fear because of color, we are all born equal.
