I'm all for the protests, I just want the freaking curfew to end. We work and homeschool all day long, the only time we can get out to the park is after 7:00 (and it's still light past 8 now). [ Reply | More

The city opens up on Monday, so a good number of people will have to work which might impact turnout a bit. And even for those of us who work from home (and have to homeschool), it's been challenging to get out to every event. [ Reply | More

this. however. a lot of NYkers are unemployed or, like you, working from home. Typically, youd have people unable to leave the office or march during rush hours. Its a bit of a perfect storm for a protest environment. [ Reply | More

nnp. Seconding this -- I'm in Brooklyn, between two of the largest gathering spots. Sick of the helicopters but of course the low-level stress from the noise is nothing compared to black families' fear of being hurt or killed during everyday activities. [ Reply | More

Hopefully when white people stop killing black people. It’s an inconvenience that we can’t go to the park. As it turns out when you are black you can’t jog, go bird watching, commit a petty crime, be in the wrong place at the wrong time. [ Reply | More

Thank you! If people don't want to join in, that's fine, but all of this should make you uncomfortable, as it's clearly the only way that change will come. To have grown white men able to openly carry rifles and be left alone, but then have a 12 year old shot and killed for playing with a toy gun is beyond the pale, but that murder still didn't effect any change and his family never even received justice.
