Week Of Outrage Protests: Full List Of Michael Brown, Eric Garner Demonstration Sites By State, Plus Justice For All March Details
With thousands of demonstrators scheduled to rally against the police-involved deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown Saturday in Washington, D.C., people stretching from New York to California will be holding concurrent protests in solidarity. The Rev. Al Sharpton, a civil rights activist and head of the National Action Network, is organizing the D.C. protest, dubbed the Justice for All March. The families of Garner, Brown, Akai Gurley, Trayvon Martin and the mother of Akai Gurley are expected to attend.
Gurley, 28, was shot and killed last month by a New York City police officer inside a darkened stairwell of a housing project. The NYPD classified the incident as an accident, and the officer involved was identified as Peter Liang. Trayvon, 17, wasn’t killed by a police officer, but he was shot and killed by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, who is half white and half Hispanic, in 2012. The incident spurred debate on racial profiled and Zimmerman’s acquittal on murder charges angered the black community.
The cases of Garner and Brown further fueled tensions after the white police officers who killed the two unarmed black men weren’t indicted by grand juries in New York and Missouri in recent weeks. Garner repeatedly said, “I can’t breathe,” before he died and was put in a chokehold. Brown was unarmed when he was shot and killed by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson in August.
The Justice for All March is expected to get underway 12 p.m. Saturday. Meanwhile, multiple protests are planned for New York City throughout the weekend for what is being called the “Week of Outrage.”
