Big protest and march at Brooklyn Criminal Court and outside Brooklyn DA Gonzales's office in protest of this woman's treatment today. Organized by the Association of Legal Advocates and Attorneys, UAW Local 2325.

Speakers talked not just about the woman forced to give birth in a courtroom, but other people who have died in custody.

A speaker said the woman who was forced to give birth in the courtroom was picked up for trespassing -- on her own roof. Other speakers talked about people being picked up for jumping subway turnstiles.

City Council member @shahanafrombk.bsky.social and NY-10 candidate @bradlander.bsky.social both showed up.

Honestly, trespassing in areas that are not personal property should not even be enforced by law enforcement unless substantial criminal conduct is done on the property (e.g. unauthorized hunting). It should be more a way for companies to not have to make maintenance areas safe to the public.
