BEAVERCREEK, Ohio– At Walmart in Beavercreek, a peaceful group of protesters rallied together to demand justice for the families of black people who have been unjustly killed by police — specifically John Crawford III, who was killed by Beavercreek police nearly six years ago.

To raise awareness and push for change, a peaceful assembly was organized by the youth in the Dayton community. One organizer is just 16 years old.

“They literally murdered an innocent man that was on the phone,” Hannah Bradshaw said to a large crowd. “His last words were, ‘It’s not real.’”

This is Hannah Bradshaw, she’s one of the organizers for the Justice For All Protest and March. She is a rising senior at Stivers High School in Dayton and is very passionate about this cause.

“I believe that we need to get John Crawford’s family justice —Period,” Bradshaw said. “The police officers barely got any repercussions for murdering someone. I believe the city of Beavercreek, we’re not going to stop until we get his family justice.”

Bradshaw wants to make a difference in Beavercreek, making people aware of what’s happening all around the country.

“Just kind of getting the city of Beavercreek to wake up a little bit. Because I lived here for a while, I dealt with race bullying and stuff in this district. I’ve also met some really awesome white people too. And they’re here supporting me. So, I think ultimately getting the vibe of Beavercreek shifted to less privileged, racists, to everybody working together.

Hayley Carson is another co-organizer for the event and the administrative director of The Solution Movement in Dayton.

She said hosting a demonstration at the Walmart is important to demand justice for Crawford’s family because no charges were ever filed in Crawford’s death.

“The point is, we have to hold people accountable for their actions,” Carson said. “They do not get a pass because they put on a blue uniform. They do not get a pass because they work for our government system. We have to hold evert person accountable no matter who they are.”

Hundreds of people showed up for the rally, which included a 9-minute moment of silence for George Floyd.

And once the three-mile march returned to the Walmart where Crawford was killed, they made sure everyone remembered his name.

“Say his name, John Crawford. Say his name, John Crawford,” the group chanted.

But Bradshaw said their fight doesn’t end here.

“I think it’s going to take people putting in effort, people actually wanting change,” Bradshaw said. “Not just black people, we need white people helping us, too. I think we have the whole country with us.”
