SALT LAKE CITY — An Indigenous activist is speaking out after his arrest by Salt Lake City Police was streamed live on Facebook Thursday.
Carl Moore said he was trying to help those experiencing homelessness who were being forced to move, but police said he was trespassing on private property.
Moore is a founding member of Peaceful Advocates for Native Dialogue and Organizing Support (PANDOS), as well as a co-founder of SLC Air Protectors.
On Friday afternoon, he walked up and down 300 West near 800 South, chanting and smudging to bless the murals with faces of those who have been killed by police, most of them in Utah. It s a space that many in the community hold sacred.
