Huge black lives matter mural
People living in tents
“End America” scrawled on the floor
Quite a few people have set up tents. There are toilet booths nearby.
Local businesses in the zone appear to be open and running.
I’m walking along the border of the zone now. Haven’t seen any armed guards or checkpoints yet. #CHAZ
#BlackLivesMatter rally/march happening now.
Rally leader says:
“Action, action, action. Those are our goals for today, we don’t need words.”
He stressed later for everyone to remain peaceful and to stay safe.

Update: No one has stopped me from entering #CHAZ. No one has questioned me either. I have been inside the zone for over a few hours already.
EXCLUSIVE: I just interviewed the so-called “warlord” of #CHAZ - rapper Raz Simone.
I asked him what he thought of the title.
I also asked him why he was carrying a concealed handgun to the zone today.

Protestors are watching #CHAZ from the rooftops.
Graffiti says “Shoplift your future back!”
I’m in an alley inside #CHAZ now. A lot of the graffiti refers to the occupation as a “revolution.”
“The revolution doesn’t stop here” one section shows.
