ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Signs reading, “Justice for Easter” and “Stop Killing Us,” flooded downtown Anchorage streets, as dozens marched on Saturday in honor of Easter Leafa who was killed in an Anchorage Police officer-involved shooting
Fiu Unuteoa, who was one of the organizers of the event, reminded people there that Saturday’s march was not a protest. Instead, he said, it was a moment to come together for love and peace as their community navigates the situation. Part of that navigation process, Fiu Unuteoa said, is teaching the Anchorage community about the Samoan culture, especially when it comes to law enforcement.
At the start of the event, Mayor Suzanne LaFrance and APD Chief Sean Case spoke to march attendees. LaFrance, addressing the public, said she’s grieving with the community. Fiu Unuteoa said LaFrance and Case being at the march helped achieve their goals of peace and healing.
