“On Saturday, the super again sent the NYPD to our doorstep. That morning, six people put their bodies on the line to defend The Gym. We put out calls in our networks and on social media in the morning; by the afternoon, dozens of community members had gathered to do the same. The NYPD responded to this show of solidarity with a horrific crackdown that put one comrade in the hospital, 14 in jail, and injured many others. The footage is so brutal that elected officials are now calling for an investigation into the violence. The NYPD entered the storefront with weapons drawn at six unarmed people linking arms — all in the name of private property.”
