“If you saw today on our march, [the police] closed off big intersections to make sure we could get through safely. But they were told to not let us be on the street and to arrest any teacher, or anybody protesting in the street.”

— Sheryl Rice, Bigelow Teacher

“The directive did come from the mayor. The message was that we respect your First Amendment right, we respect your right to protest, but it needs to be safe,”
