ROCKFORD About 50 people gathered outside of City Hall Saturday afternoon to protest the most recent police-involved shootings in the area.
May 30th Alliance spokesman Leslie Rolfe distributed booklets documenting the history of the Winnebago-Boone County Integrity Task Force.
The assembled crowd then took to the streets, marching west along East State Street.
Some carried signs while others chanted “No justice, no peace” and “Black lives matter.”
The demonstrators crossed the Rock River and marched to the Winnebago County Administration Building on Elm Street, where they scrawled messages of protest on the sidewalk including “They can’t kill us all” and “We want justice.”

Do you have a pair of tennis shoes you bought that just never fit right, or you ended up not liking, just sitting around at home? Carpenter s Place in Rockford would love to take them off your hands to help this city s homeless population.
Every year on Holy Thursday, Carpenter s Place hosts a Foot Care Event where Podiatry students from OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center come and care for the feet of their homeless guests. This includes washing and evaluating the health of their feet, trimming their toenails, and giving them a pair of new shoes and socks to keep their feet protected. You and I may not know much about podiatry, but if you feel the call to help this effort, you can make a donation now to Carpenter s Place.
