Note: #BlackLivesMatter protesters have been doing events in Grand Central
Station in New York on a regular basis. After they held a successful
<https://www.popularresistance.org/carrythenames-24-hour-vigil-in-grand-cent
ral-station/> 24 our vigil #CarryTheNames which included putting the names
of those killed by police violence on the floor of the station,
<https://www.popularresistance.org/officials-ban-die-ins-at-grand-central-st
ation/>  police announced there would be no more die-ins or putting names on
the floor - such actions were prohibited. When this occurred we asked out
loud what would the #BlackLivesMatter campaign do? Would they accept this?
We're pleased to report they are continuing to stand up, exercise their
rights and raise the consciousness of thousands.

In defiance of the recently issued MTA ban on die-in protests at Grand
Central Terminal, protestors held another demonstration in the main
concourse on Monday to demand justice for unarmed black men killed by
police. Although two protestors were arrested at a similar demonstration in
Grand Central six days earlier, no arrests were made during Monday's
protest. However, the station's loudspeaker repeatedly warned: "Lying on the
floor, platform, stairs or landing is prohibited."
