WASHINGTON, D.C. — Throngs of people gathered in Washington, D.C., on Saturday in what is expected to be the city’s largest demonstration since George Floyd’s death on Memorial Day.

The day included music, food, and snacks being passed out to strangers and a sense of camaraderie with one another. There were even a couple of people selling “I can’t breathe” merchandise, which is a reference to Floyd’s final words and the last thing Eric Garner said while in a police chokehold before he lost consciousness and died in New York City in 2014.
