Bushville
Erected in Jersey City,
New
Jersey:
Update
and Photos
|
 On
Thursday afternoon Jersey City Police Officers arrived at the lot
to announce the removal of Bushville signs from the lot. Cheri,
along with other members of the Bushville, and our newly acquired
lawyer rushed to the Hudson County Court House to stand before Judge
Barbara Curran to request an injunction against the Jersey City
Police.
After
testimony which ran until 7:30 at night the judge announced that
she would not approve the injunction. Cheri and her attorney then
spoke with reporters and vowed that Bushville would return. The
silencing of America's will not be an option.
We
are in desperate need of your financial help. The towing of vehicles,
the destruction of our supplies, the cost of being able to put a
voice requires financial resources. Please consider donating to
support ongoing organizing for the Poor People's Economic Human
Rights Campaign and the "March For Our Lives."

Several
dozen police officers and various city services representatives arrived
with the intent of demolishing the Bushville. |

 Members
of the community joined the remaining members of Bushville the sidewalk
and watched as city employees dismantled the structures.

Mattresses,
medical supplies, US Flags, banners, children's toys, food, and
families personal items were thrown into large dumpsters headed
for the city Incineration Department.
Once
the Bushville was fully dismantled and trucked off to the incinerator
the abandoned lot was fenced off.
