NEWARK, NJ Ma Khia Bryant. Adam Toledo. Anthony J. Thompson. Daunte Wright. These are some of the Black and Brown youth whose deaths inspired an outcry for counselors not cops in Newark this week.
On Thursday, a coalition of young activists and their supporters rallied near Lincoln Park, demanding more funding for bold and transformative investment in supportive services at their schools instead of more police.
The group included youth leaders with Make the Road New Jersey, advocates from Salvation and Social Justice, local high school students and their families.
