OUR FAVORITE PLACES TO CRY IN BOSTON

Written by DIG STAFF Posted October 9, 2019 Filed Under: FEATURES, GTFO, Guides, LIFESTYLE, Lulz, Non-fiction

ONE YEAR LATER: I SAT ON I-93 BECAUSE POLICE ARE KILLING BLACK PEOPLE IN MY NAME—IT’S REALLY THAT SIMPLE

Written by NICOLE SULLIVAN Posted January 12, 2016 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

For months following our action, the biggest news outlets in Boston questioned whether our protest should be considered attempted murder, lamented the traffic we caused, and even called for us to be treated as domestic terrorists.
