We Pump 716 and the Liberation Collective are holding a Hertel Avenue Protest, according to a flyer co-organizer Stevo Johnson sent me. The organizers are "calling on the entire east side to show up," according to the flyer. The protest will begin at 5 pm at the corner of Delaware and Hertel.

Stevo wrote on Facebook,

"#MARCHONHERTEL: We Do Not Protest Violently, That’s Not Something We Condone, No Looting Or Violence Of Any Kind Friday ... We Will Not Give Anyone A Narrative To Destroy Our Creditability & Our Intregrity."

According to WGRZ, the Buffalo Police Department is aware of the rally and will be on-site,
