"There never will be justice for us, but we're out here trying to save other people’s lives, that's why we're constantly out here."COLUMBUS, Ohio — Groups across the United States gathered Sunday for the National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression, and the criminalization of a generation.
The Statehouse lawn was filled with shoes for the rally, representing the emptiness families and friends feel having lost someone they love to police brutality. Grieving mothers and families continue the work to influence what they believe is a necessary change, starting with more accountability for law enforcement.
The group is also working to end qualified immunity, a policy protecting government officials from some lawsuits, as well as changes to Marsy’s Law, which provides protections to crime victims, which can include police officers in some cases.
