PROTESTERS RELEASED FROM JAIL

New York, NY - Members of the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign were released early Saturday morning after their demonstration in Central Park which ended with four arrests. The arrestees were handcuffed and chained to a metal pole from 8:30pm Friday evening until 1am Saturday morning.

"Arresting and handcuffing us for an entire evening will not deter us from building a movement to end poverty and homelessness. We will continue to fight to ensure that the voices of the poor are heard especially in the days leading up to our "March for Our Lives" on August 30th from the United Nations at 4pm."

- Cheri Honkala, National Spokesperson for PPEHRC
