DETAILS

• The North-Western city of Seattle has seen of the fiercest clashes with police since the Black Lives Matter protest movement began.
• As a result, the city’s police force and local government ceded ground to the protestors on June 8th, giving them an area to peacefully protest without the chance of violence breaking out between police and protestors.
• This has led to the creation of what is being known as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or Chaz for short.
