In New York, hundreds of friends and supporters of the slain journalist Brad Will blockaded the entrance to the Mexican Consulate for over an hour on Monday. 12 people were arrested including a Reuters photographer. Nine of them were held overnight. Brad Will’s former roommate and fellow Indymedia journalist Brandon Jourdan was arrested after he laid down in the street while wearing a shirt covered in red ink — depicting where Brad was shot.

• Father Frank Morales: “If anything, what Brad’s death is going to do is to force us to step it up. And we’re going to step it up in Brad’s memory, because he may be absent, but he’s present. And you know, I’m angry, and I know a lot of people are angry, and we’re just not going to go for this. If we have to go directly to Oaxaca ourselves, we’ll bring thousands of people down there. We’re gonna take back–we’re gonna make some justice here.”

Protests took place in at least 13 other U.S. cities.”
