12/31, 3 PM: The Stop Mass Incarceration Network in NYC held a press conference on the steps of City Hall to denounce the NYC Dept of Parks and Recreation and the NYPD for denying a permit for people to rally and march on New Year's Eve to protest police murder of Black and Brown people. Protesters have been denied a permit to march from Union Square to Times Square. The press release said "The Stop Mass Incarceration Network reaffirms their conviction that people have the right to take their demand that police killings of Black and Brown people stop to the 'crossroads' of the world. They have the right to demand justice for Eric Garner, Mike Brown, Akai Gurley, and all the other victims murdered by the police, and put that demand before the world audience whose eyes will be on Times Square for New Year's Eve."
