Description
Graffiti on the side of the NYC Surrogate Court building and statues. Graffiti includes "Lenape Lands," "Cancel Rent. None Are Free Till All Are Free," "God is Black.," "All Cops Lie!" "We're taking what we deserve. Racism is not getting worse its getting filmed," "You fuck ass cops are getting abolished," "ACAB," and pig characters.
These were part of a month-long protest encampment at New York City's City Hall Park Area, organized by Vocal New York. The protesters lived and slept in front of the mayor office for one month, demanding that 1 billion dollars be removed from the New York City Police Department annual budget. During that month (June 22 - July 22, 2020) protesters defaced buildings, sidewalks, and subway entrances. Graffiti was a tool for their messages.
