Coverage
City Hall Park, New York City, NY, USA
Description
Graffiti on the pavement of Broadway, Park Row and Chamber Street. It includes "FTP," "Breonna Taylor," "RIP Floyd," "Give Us Our Gold," "Evelyn RIP," "Trump Was Cool With Epstein," "Black Til You Die BTYD," "Fuck Theese Racist Ass Police," "Lenape Lands honor indiginious sovereignty," and more.
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.
