The #DayOfResistance covered the nation in protest with major events in Washington, DC and New York City as well as many cities across the country.
Among the cities represented below are Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Miami, Portland, OR, Oakland, San Francisco, San Antonio, Seattle, St. Louis and Los Angeles.
The protests are a new crescendo in the escalation that has been growing since the grand jury decided in Ferguson, MO not to indict the officer who killed Michael Brown. They escalated again with the decision of a Staten Island grand jury not to indict the officer who killed Eric Garner. And, throughout this time there were additional killings of African Americans in other cities.
All of this has led to an awakening of a culture of resistance throughout the nation against police abuse and the killing of African Americans across the nation. The failure of government to adequately respond ensures these protests will continue.
