Protesters were on I-93 northbound at East Milton Square and 1-93 southbound at Mystic Avenue in Medford, Massachusetts State Police Lt. Daniel Richard said.


"We are getting units down there and equipment to clear the roadways, but we want to do that in safe manner," Richard said. "We are asking for everyone's patience because traffic is going to be disrupted for quite some time, and people are going to be late for work."

The group said the action was in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.

"Today, our nonviolent direct action is meant to expose the reality that Boston is a city where white commuters and students use the city and leave, while Black and Brown communities are targeted by police, exploited, and displaced," said Korean-American activist Katie Seitz.
