Last night, people from all around New Jersey gather at Newark's Military Park to protest ICE and to demand Justice for Renee Good.

Protestors hailed from a myriad of organizations and had a diverse set of concerns and causes. The atmosphere was lively as vehicle after vehicle streamed down Broad Street (Gibson Blvd.) blowing horns in support. A few police vehicles parked nearby, but maintained a calm distance.

Chants and calls to effective, collective action were a recurring theme, and neighborhood solidarity was the effervescent mood.
