Video coverage of the Black Lives Matter Movement’s Turn Up and Shut It Down in Chinatown event was fairly extensive, in comparison to other events sponsored by the District’s local progressive community.
The most comprehensive report , New Year’s Eve Black Lives Matter Protest Demands Police Reforms In 2016, was done by the DC Media Group. In it, you’ll hear from organizers April Goggans of Black Lives Matter DMV and Eugene Puryear of Stop Police Terror Project DMV. They have done much of the heavy lifting necessary to put together the New Year’s Eve event and will be leading up calls to action in the future. The video included in their report is below.
The District’s ABC affiliate WJLA did not cover the event. FOX News showed up but did not create a report. NBC4’s and WUSA9’s coverage can be found at the following links:
