Is the so-called "purge [11]" spreading? Hundreds have now gathered in Union Square in New York in a show of solidarity with the protesters in Baltimore who have demanded justice for the death of Freddie Gray. More from NBC [12]:
Organizers had urged various activist groups to rally at Union Square "to show the people of Baltimore that we stand in solidarity with them and with their resistance because their resistance is for justice and their justice is our justice," according to one press release.

Umaara Elliott, one of the New York rally organizers, said she encouraged the message protesters in Baltimore were trying to send.
