hi, i was one of the seven that were arrested at the taste. on top of the bullshit reasons why they arrested us, when we were in the holding tent, officers began to taunt one of the arrestees by calling him the most blantantly racist names, including "puerto rican trash" and "puerto rican slave".

six of us were released in between two different groups in the time frame of 10:30-10:50. when i left, one person was still being held.

i am very grateful for everyone's efforts, support, and passion. thank you so much!

en solidaridad
