Activists Planning Sunday Protest on 490 Expressway

Activists who are planning to shut down the 490 expressway in a protest Sunday say they won't be stopped by threats against them on social media.

A spokesman for Save Rochester-Black Lives Matter says his group doesn't condone violence -- and wants charges brought against the people making the threats.

The group wants charges dropped against the protesters who were arrested this week for violating the city's late-night ban on large gatherings. They are also calling for the release of people incarcerated for non-violent misdemeanors, and they want the Rochester City Council draft reparations legislation for city residents.
