Swipe it Forward Protest in NYC subway
Activists protest at a New York City subway station for their Swipe it Forward campaign to call out unnecessary policing of poor people of color.
In an ambitious protest action, advocacy groups across New York City on Wednesday are offering free subway fares at stations that serve primarily black, brown and poor commuters.
Members of Black Lives Matter NYC, the Black Youth Project 100 and the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, among other groups, said they have one goal with this protest. They want to send a message to law enforcement — that it's cruel to arrest and fine vulnerable commuters simply because they don't have $2.75.
