Activism[edit]

In 2020 during the George Floyd protests in Hartford CT, Correa blocked Highway Route 84 East and West with BLM860 co-founders Senate Candidate Michael Oretade, Ambibola Richard "King" Oretade and Obediah Matthews [9] [10], the group helped coordinate and paint a mural as part of a arts healing initiative, [11] [12], began to lobby for the police accountability bill in CT by holding meetings with elected officials, joining with other groups and rallying statewide. [13] [14] The bill was enacted October 1, 2020.[15]

While raising awareness about food deserts in the North End of Hartford, CT, Correa was approached by a counter protester where a viral incident occurred where the counter protester James Stanley(also a firefighter at the time) advocated to "Ban Narcan."
