NEW YORK – It started with a cryptic text message with a location and time.*

"Each person is responsible for getting their own Black T Shirt made/bought with a victims name on it in White Writing," it began.*

The text was passed around discreetly, with clear instructions **t to share any of the details on social media.*

"WE ARE MARCHING IN THE STREET WITH OUR HANDS UP," it read. "WHEN WE REACH THE VENUE- WE WILL STOP AND WITH OUR HANDS UP AND LET OUR SIGNS, OUR PRESENCE AND OUR SHIRTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES WHILE THE MEDIA AND PHOTOGRAPHERS CAPTURE THE IMAGE."
