This rally is one of many, in Massachusetts as well as the rest of the country, being held as part of a national day of action.
Other states participating include California, New York, Ohio, Texas, Florida and Georgia.
They were planned since March 8 will mark the first day of former police officer, Derek Chauvin’s, trial in the killing of George Floyd last year.
Mass Action Against Police Brutality said Saturday’s rally was “the next step in a series of family-first events and activities aimed at placing the axis of the national fight back on the central demands of most families in every city.”
