At an event initially organized to highlight racial dispartities in the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of demonstrators in Tacoma also protested police violence on Saturday, highlighting the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
At People's Park, Mayor Victoria Woodards addressed the crowd.
"This week has been especially hard. And I don't have to tell you why because you already know," Woodards said. "But what I will say is: Enough is enough."
On Friday morning, before the demonstrations, Woodards spoke with KNKX Morning Edition host Kirsten Kendrick about how police violence against African Americans has impacted her and the people she serves. Listen to their conversation above.
