Occupy City Hall // Day 3
~
Since the start of the occupation on Tuesday, the crowd has quadrupled in size - expanding far beyond the small patch of grass where this all started. The park had become a 100% self sustaining community complete with charging stations, an art department, a full kitchen, roaming medics, voting sign ups, supply booths, and even a public library. Education is a huge part of this movement, with teach ins + group discussions surrounding race, the abolitionist movement, government, voting, and demonstration tactics, happening 24/7.

With June 30th rapidly approaching, organizers continue to push their agenda to defund the NYPD by 1 billion, or roughly 1/6th of their overall yearly budget.
