NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - With fewer than a dozen people at Thursday's gathering, Take 'Em Down Nola leader Malcolm Suber said hundreds will join his effort on Saturday to tear down the iconic Andrew Jackson statue in Jackson Square.

"We're not vandalizing. We're removing an eyesore," Suber said.

Ahead of the protest, Suber also sent a message to the New Orleans Police Department.
