ACLU Displaying Mario Woods Protest Banners Near Super Bowl CityPhoto: Rebecca Farmer/ACLU
The ACLU on Friday afternoon hung large banners reading, "BLACK LIVES MATTER" and "JUSTICE FOR MARIO WOODS" in its offices at 39 Drumm St. (between California and Sacramento Streets), a half a block from one of the entrances to Super Bowl City—where a protest on the same issue took place a week ago. The group sent us a statement reading, in part, "There are long-standing and deep-rooted failures in the workings of the SFPD, especially as it interacts with communities of color, and Black people in particular."
