"With the recent death of Ma'Khia Bryant, and us being black women, and her being so close in age with us, it really did hit home," said 17-year-old Ashira Campbell who is co-leading the sit-in with two others. "People are dying every day by the people that are supposed to protect and serve. We are putting emphasis on that, we are tired of it. We are 16, 17, 18 years old, we are seniors in high school and the fact that we are dealing with his right now is really weighing on our mental health."
Last week, Campbell helped lead one of two protests to stand with Daunte Wright, who was shot by police earlier this April.
