City & State New York
Midway through the week, the furniture in the war room was completely removed in response to the continued occupation. Activists were arrested by state troopers after refusing to disperse from the governor’s hall after 7 p.m. but ultimately were not charged with criminal trespassing. Several lawmakers – including Sen. Jabari Brisport, Assembly Members Harvey Epstein, Phara Souffrant Forrest, Jessica González-Rojas, Zohran Mamdani, Marcela Mitaynes and Sarahana Shrestha – joined the activists as they held a sit-in front of the governor’s office Thursday night. “They were standing in solidarity. They were showing the governor that they were on our side – the people who elected them,” said Erica Vladimer, comms director for the Invest in Our New York campaign.
