Following months of separate actions and organizing, Evanston Fight for Black Lives and NU Community Not Cops joined in protest Sunday to honor the lives of Daunte Wright and Adam Toledo and advocate for the abolition of police.
“The city of Evanston and Northwestern intentionally divide us,” an EFBL organizer said. “They want to keep Northwestern community members separate from Evanston community members because they know that together we can win.”
The protest came days after Chicago Police Department released footage of an officer killing 13-year-old Adam Toledo in late March, and just over a week after a Brooklyn Center, Minn. police officer killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright.
