Day and night protest outside Uvalde school district HQ enters second week
Brett Cross looks at his phone while holding vigil outside the Uvalde CISD administration building on Sept. 27, the first day of a protest now in its second week. He wants the school district’s police officers suspended and investigated for their response to the May 24 massacre at Robb Elementary.
By the weekend, the camp had acquired two blue pop-up awnings, a tent, tables and coolers full of donated food. Other families who lost children in the shooting have spent hours by his side, but Cross is the one who has gone without any trips home to change clothes or sleep in his own bed.
