The memorial for Corey Ruiz at the intersection of Williamson and South Baldwin streets has grown into a full-fledged encampment, protected on all four sides by impromptu barricades.
One week after 38-year-old Corey Ruiz was shot and killed by Madison police, community members are continuing to plan marches and protests. In the in-between hours, a rotating group of a few dozen maintains an occupation of the site of the shooting at the intersection of Williamson and South Baldwin Streets.
Just before 10 p.m. Friday, people gather around the memorial for Corey Ruiz, who was shot and killed by a Madison Police Department officer Wednesday at the intersection of Williamson and South Baldwin streets.
Corey Dean, with the Madison branch of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, leads a discussion at the group’s organizing meeting at the Madison Public Library’s central branch Monday night. Many said they wanted more clear communication about the demonstrations’ goals.
