Black social justice organizers in San Diego are feeling both a sense of justice being served in the wake of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdicts, paired with a strong feeling of the necessary next steps toward achieving a greater sense of equity.
We Stand United San Diego leader KC Short organized the La Mesa protest on May 30 in response to the death of George Floyd, a Black man, after Derek Chauvin, a White Minneapolis police officer, knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
It was the first time the U.S. Army veteran had organized a protest, but after seeing the death of Black men and women at the hands of the police for years, it was the final event that pushed him into activism.
