On the heels of a massive mobilization in Manhattan yesterday, which drew nearly 30,000 people, organizers are holding another mobilization to engage local Bronxites in their own neighborhood.
“The Bronx is a borough that is still predominantly Black and Brown, and our communities are affected by both over-policing and the pressure of gentrification,” said Mysonne “the General” Linen, co-founder of Until Freedom, hip hop artist and activist from the Highbridge neighborhood.
“We are marching to show our solidarity as a borough, for the right of people who are born and raised here to be free from police violence and to have the economic and community support that we need to thrive.”
