In this walking tour through Greenwich Village, participants will engage with the histories of incarceration, policing, resistance, and organizing in Greenwich Village & lower Manhattan, especially those grounded within and across prison walls—inside/outside. Stops include the Stonewall Inn, and the former Women’s House of Detention, now Jefferson Market Garden. On this walk, we will draw out the legacies and lessons from these histories, as well as how they shape and inspire our struggles for liberation today.
