Meanwhile, hundreds gathered in New York City to honor Sandra Bland.

KaLisa Moore: “We are demanding an end to white supremacy. We’re going to be on the streets. We’re going to continue fighting. We’re done with the terror. And we’re going to keep fighting. We’re going to — by any means necessary, we’ll be out here. Another person dies, we’ll be out here. We’re going to continue the fight until it’s done.”

At least a dozen people were arrested after sitting down and locking arms in the street. Protesters also raised questions about the death of Kindra Chapman, an 18-year-old African American found dead in her jail cell in Alabama just one day after Sandra Bland was found dead. Chapman was arrested July 14 on accusations of stealing a cellphone. Just like in Bland’s case, authorities have claimed she hanged herself, but her family does not believe it. At the protest in New York, demonstrators also mourned a 25-year-old African-American transgender woman who was found beaten to death in Tampa, Florida, Tuesday.

Protester: “I’m here today representing India Clarke. She was the 10th trans woman of color murdered in this country this year. Say her name.”

Crowd: “India Clarke!”

Protester: “Say her name!”

Crowd: “India Clarke!”

Protester: “Say her name!”

Crowd: “India Clarke!”

India Clarke is at least the 10th transgender woman murdered in the United States this year, part of what experts are calling an “epidemic.”
