India Cummings was a native Rochesterian and Wilson graduate who died in Buffalo and the hands of the Erie County Correctional Facility.

Since her death on Feb 16th, officials in the city of Buffalo and Rochester have said and done little to nothing. We want more from our governing bodies. We want accountability. We want answers. This protest is for you India. We intend to uplift her memory and get folks to highlight an issue that must go national. The protest is also symbolic on the community stance against police brutality and violation of prisoners 8th/14th Amendment rights.

Speakers will be those that were friends, family and colleagues of India Cummings, as well as other that have been impacted by police misconduct.
