On April 23, more than 100 people in Davis, California, gathered to mourn the continued lives lost to police violence. The vigil organized by the La Raza Pre-Law Student Association was a moving event that reflected on the victims of police and the families they leave behind.
Participating organizations included Yolo People Power, Phoenix Coalition, Yolo Grassroots Collective, Party for Socialism and Liberation, and more. Speakers read poetry and invoked the names of Daunte Wright, Alex Toledo, and Ma’khia Bryant, each of whom was shot to death by police in the days surrounding Derek Chauvin’s guilty verdict for the murder of George Floyd.
