Students, Youth Activists March To Alameda Courthouse To Demand Justice For Mario Gonzalez

By Andrea Nakano, CBS San Francisco:

OAKLAND (KPIX) — Students, parents and youth activists rallied and marched from Oakland to the footsteps of the Alameda Police Department on Monday, demanding justice for the death of Mario Gonzalez while in police custody.

The organizers said they had to do something to try to prevent another incident like this from happening again.

Just in front of the Oscar Grant mural at the Fruitvale Bart station, protesters gathered to help bring justice for Mario Gonzalez. The protest was organized by Oakland Tech’s Latinx Student Union and Youth Activists for Alameda but those young and old came to show their support.
