Marxist BLM protesters occupy Trader Joe's to protest ‘lack of access to grocery stores’ and capitalistic exploitation

"If Ballard residents won't come to the protest, we'll bring the protest to them!" the group, Morning March Seattle, said in a post on Instagram showing protesters occupying the store and holding signs that say "Black Lives Matter All Day Every Day" and "Defund [Seattle Police]."

"We stopped by the local Trader Joe's this morning to share some education about lack of access to grocery stores in Black and Brown communities and the barriers that creates [sic], how capitalism exploits the working class, and of course gentrification," the post continued.

According to its Instagram profile, the group advocates for abolishing police — which it portrayed using a pig emoji — and the redirecting of funds into black communities (i.e. wealth redistribution).
