Today’s Protest Is Brought to You By ‘Anarchists in the Pacific Northwest
Eli Sanders, The Stranger, December 8, 2014
On Sunday, in a peaceful protest organized by Seattle’s Justice for Mike Brown movement, a group of less than 100 people showed up at Westlake Park. They held a large, electric-lit sign against police brutality. They staged a die-in at 4th and Pine. Then, after some back-and-forth with police over which way they could march, they headed up to Capitol Hill. There was one arrest, of a 16-year-old who officers said was causing “pedestrian interference.” They took her “to social services.”
Today, the group “Anarchists in the Pacific Northwest” has called for a 5 pm protest at Niketown. They’re calling it “Seattle Standing with Black Lives.”
