The drastic weather change and drop in temperature didn’t stop members of the Self Defense Brigade, PowerUP CT and the community from protesting Friday evening against the eight nooses found at an Amazon construction site in Windsor over the last four weeks.
“The goal is to, again, disrupt status quo,” Keren Prescott, of PowerUP CT, said. “The goal is to get the attention of the exec’s of Amazon, and I think it’s RC Anderson Construction Company, to get that $100,000 reward sounds nice, but there needs to be a lot more than that.”
The group, of about 15 to 20 people, gathered at the Windsor Court Shopping Plaza before marching their way down to the construction site, which is planned to be an Amazon distribution center by the end of the year, just blocks away.
