Demonstrations continue in Cambridge following the death of George Floyd

CAMBRIDGE, Md. – With each step protestors in Cambridge marched on Sunday to help bring equal justice for black lives.

“We’ve just seen too many people affected, too many die and it’s not fair, it’s not right and we need to stand up and say something about that,” said Rob Dejter.

Protestors tell 47ABC they’ve seen too many unarmed black men and women being killed by police, which is why they’ll keep doing what it takes to make sure their voices are heard.

But we’re told there’s still a ways to go.

“We have to keep going, keep being heard, keep protesting, keep getting under the skin who support racism and systematic oppression,” said Mya Woods.

Following the march, protestors gathered at the Dorchester County Circuit Courthouse to hear words of inspiration from Cambridge Mayor Victoria Jackson-Stanley.

“We know that we will get through this, we’ll come out the other end stronger, and better and more importantly more aware that we are not supposed to have color blinders on,” said Jackson-Stanley.

The mayor adds that the city is also actively working to make sure that the relationship between its police officers and community members remains strong and inspire others to make a difference.

“We’ve had conversations over the years, and our current chief is very diligent about making sure the vision and mission of Cambridge and the relationship between the police department and the community are as good as it can be in times like these,” said Jackson-Stanley.

Organizers say they plan on holding more protests in the future and that they hope more people will make their voices heard at the polls as well.
