The Autonomous Brown Berets De San Anto are planning a “peaceful gathering” at Travis Park on at 5 p.m. Saturday. The group will hold a vigil for Floyd, whose arrest was captured in a widely shared video showing now-former police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on his neck. Floyd can be heard multiple times in the video saying he was unable to breathe and later died.
A march is also planned, according to event details shared online. The Autonomous Brown Berets recognized social distancing on the event page and asked participants to bring masks and hand sanitizer.
Some interested participants asked how black voices will be heard during the event. The group replied to one comment on Facebook, saying they “align” with different marginalized communities.
“One of our biggest fights has always been police brutality, and supporting families that have been affected,” the comment continues.
