A sit-in at New York City's Trump Tower is underway as protesters gathered to demand the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist detained over the weekend by federal immigration agents.

The organization Jewish Voice for Peace livestreamed the Thursday sit-in, showing hundreds of demonstrators packed into the building's lobby. Some held signs that read "Fight Nazis not students," "Free Mahmoud free Palestine," and "You can't deport a movement."

....disperse and meet up somewhere else. It will create a series of rolling slowdowns that in areas of major traffic can quickly gridlock a city. As always, allow for emergency vehicle traffic and if possible, target red states/zones the most. Doesn't take a lot of folks.
