On April 4, 2016, a protest was held against the Erie County Holding Center and Sheriff Timothy Howard demanding answers and accountability for the murder of Rochester native and Buffalo resident India Cummings. Family, friends, and organizations such as Building Leadership And Community Knowledge (BLACK), Buffalo Anti-Racism Coalition, and Blacktivist were integral to organizing the rally that shut down Deleware Avenue in front of the holding center in Buffalo, NY where India Cummings died. Supporters traveled from all over--with a solid presence from Rochester.

Ms. Cummings was arrested on February 1, 2016 as she was suffering a severe mental health crisis. She was held in the Erie County Holding Center for 16 days, then released from police custody to Buffalo General Medical Center where she arrived brain-

dead, with a broken arm, broken ribs, a blood clot in her leg that would have been amputed had she survived, and was severely dehydrated. She died 4 days later on February 21st. Protesters demanded that Sheriff Howard and every person charged with her care in the Erie County Holding Center be held responsible for that.

India needed a hospital, and she got handcuffs. India needed help, and she got hurt. India deserves justice! ‪#‎SayHerName‬ #Justice4India
