Protest Outside Of D.C. Bar After Black Woman Dragged Down Stairs

People dance during a ‘Boycott Nellie’s Block Party' protest outside of the popular Nellie's Sports Bar on U Street in Washington, D.C. on June 18, 2021, after a Black woman was violently dragged down a stairwell by security the previous weekend. A statement from multiple activist organizations involved in the protest was posted on Instagram, stating "This boycott comes after a long history of anti-Blackness by Nellies, as revealed by former Black workers, patrons, community advocates, viral videos, and displayed by Nellies blatantly antagonistic responses to calls for accountability. They have flown the blue lives matter/police flag in the face of murders by police proving that they do not respect or protect the Black queer and trans community."
