Powerful words & prayers of peace with our Black Muslim community at Barclays right now. Brooklyn only grows closer together each day. #BlackLivesMatter

Flatbush Ave belongs to the people. #BlackLivesMatter

Tonight in Brooklyn we prayed. We kneeled. We shouted "Hands Up, Don't Shoot," "Peaceful Protest" & "I Can't Breathe." We took the streets. We took #ourstreets. We told #NYPD they work for us, because they do. #blacklivesmatter

The violence we've seen over the last week by #NYPD against unarmed, peaceful people has been heartbreaking & enraging. The status quo is not working. I will keep showing up for my neighbors as long as we need to keep doing this. #blacklivesmatter #ourstreets

I left the march in reluctant compliance w this impotent curfew that needlessly criminalizes peaceful people. This is what happened in Brooklyn Heights after I went home.

This was the spirit of tonight's march in downtown Brooklyn. So powerful & urgent. #ourstreets #blacklivesmatter

"Justice." This is the call of these protests. #ourstreets #blacklivesmatter
