For those of you who live in New York City or have plans to visit on tomorrow, late last week WNBC NY reported the following :

NEW YORK โ€” Dozens of people gathered at a meeting meant to firm up plans to shut down New York City in protest of the Sean Bell verdict in downtown Brooklyn Thursday night. Rev. Al Sharpton said people will gather simultaneously at 4 p.m. on May 7 at five high profile locations throughout the city. Sharpton said the protests will begin a series of acts of disobedience that will be repeated once a week thereafter. Demonstrators are prepared to go to jail, he said. Sharpton said the demonstrations will be non-violent.
