Title

"NYPD SMD Period" on Tweed Courthouse

Coverage

52 Chamber Street, NY, NY 10007, USA

Description

"Abolish," "NYPD SMD Period," "No More Cops," and "Te Amo Kat," spray-painted on the Tweed Courthouse.

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.
