Seattle CHOP Leaders Claim "Success", Urge Protesters To Go Home, Continue "Struggle*

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Isabel van Brugen

A Twitter account, which claims to be the "official account" for CHOP, posted a statement on Wednesday addressed to "comrades in the struggle," encouraging protesters to leave the area that was established earlier this month in the wake of Black American George Floyd's death in police custody.

An important message from #CHOP #CHOPSeattle. Please amplify. Thank you for your support over the last two weeks. #ChopWasASuccess #CHOPcomms #CHOPCHAZ ?????? #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/7e5ISrWvX6

"The CHOP project is now concluded," the message said.

"While we expect a very small handful of holdouts may try to remain in the CHOP, no further organizing will be occurring to support this presence and the number on-site will be too small to be more than an annoyance for pedestrians rather than a zonal blockade."

It is unclear who runs the Twitter account, however, the statement was signed as from "the Capitol Hill Solidarity Committee."

"Last night, Solidarity Committee received notice from some of our trusted partners that persons in the park were in danger. We immediately implemented our emergency relocation plan, successfully evacuating most of the park. Thankfully, no danger materialized. However, we are now left with the reality that very few people remain in our beloved CHOP," the message continued.
