PHOENIX â A group of activists gathered at the Capitol Wednesday calling for police reform.
Phoenix leaders from the Black Mothers Forum, NOCAP Coalition and Unity Collective said the Derek Chauvin verdict Tuesday was about accountability, and that's something they want to see more of in Arizona when it comes to policing.
"It took an entire year of protests; it took an entire year of making the subject matter household knowledge to bring about this one verdict. So much needs to be done," said Jacob Raiford from the NOCAP Coalition.
