In the quest for justice for Sean Bell, the Rev. Al Sharpton is mobilizing New Yorkers to participate in a months-long civil disobedience campaign. During the Saturday rally at the House of Justice, Sharpton said:
We will do it on a weekly basis building toward a citywide shutdown. Wednesday is the beginning as we move toward that date which we will announce once we are prepared.
We will submit to an arrest. If you're not going to lock up the guilty in this town, then I guess you're going to have to lock up the innocent.
