The most revered weekend in America for West Indians is Labor Day weekend. Due to the global impact of the novel Coronavirus, Labor Day 2020 is different but not dead!
Ever since the release of my explosive story: Big J’Ouvert Fete In Brooklyn, Despite COVID Restrictions, there have been much chatter in Brooklyn and around the world, in favor and against the article.
I stand on every single word I wrote.
NYC & NYPD Issue Warning For Labor Weekend Day 2020
I have received private thanks for speaking out and I’ve also received vile feedback from lost souls.
I issued my own statement statement below…
This weekend the NYPD is out in full force – AS EVERY NORMAL LABOR WEEKEND! However, due to the unusual circumstances of 2020, the real threat of COVID, the increase in NYC’s violent crimes and the surge of fetes during a pandemic – the NYPD is really out in full force this weekend!
New York City & NYPD issued this warning against large gatherings for Labor Day Weekend 2020…
In an email sent by Ariel Palitz, Senior Executive Director Office of Nightlife at the NYC’s Mayor’s Office of Media & Entertainment, it stated:
This week, our office made public the first report on M.A.R.C.H. (Multi-Agency Response to Community Hotspots) operations. These are unannounced inspections of nightlife establishments, led by the NYC Police Department in coordination with other City agencies and the NY State Liquor Authority. This is the first of what will be semi-annual reports as mandated by Local Law 220 of 2019 in order to provide data and insight about nightlife enforcement that can inform ways to improve and mitigate the need for enforcement. Click here to read the full M.A.R.C.H Report.
As you celebrate Labor Day 2020, please remember the doctors, nurses, health professionals, law enforcement agents, mail carriers, delivery personnel and all those who have been tirelessly laboring during this COVID-19 pandemic, for our safety and convenience!
Friends, enjoy your weekend with family and loved ones. Have a fun time, celebrate, dance and party away the closing of an unprecedented summer 2020.
Live your best life!
Just please use discretion this weekend for your safety, your family’s safety and the safety of your community.
