#ground at Stewart/Yale, 2 cop car still behind us, others have moved down John
#video SPD's arrest was of someone on the sidewalk, it doesn't appear they care whether protestors are in the street or not despite their messaging.
clarification from last night's march:
the group that runs the nightly marches is not official and has no official name, and the term 'young black femmes' does not completely describe their group.
'young black women-led march' is probably the best term for now, as it is a march and it is led by young black women

#ground/message there is an impromptu rally forming at broadway and pine to protect the unsheltered. there are cops around, on rooftops, as the young black women led march is gathering. possible sweep expected at 10p, maybe only because it says 10-6 on the paper, but they may always just wait until enough people wander off to strike.
#ground 8 motorcycle cops waiting at 25th and cherry close to the park where the march is
