How to Join the "We Will Not Go Back" March for Eric Garner

Tessa Stuart

Depending on where you get your news, tomorrow's march protesting the death of 43-year-old Eric Garner by NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo will either be a tame, "self-policed" demonstration with an "understated" NYPD presence or it will be an anarchic event,with some 350 "riot cops ready" and armed with "hats and bats."

Here's what you need to know if you're planning to join the march organized by Reverend Al Sharpton's National Action Network. Sharpton will begin the day with a 9 a.m. rally at Mt. Sinai United Christian Church (15 Pike Street in Staten Island). That's expected to last until 11 a.m., at which time supporters will begin lining up to march on the Staten Island District Attorney's office.
