MACON, Ga. — Central Georgians are still talking about issues that sparked protests over the weekend and some are gathering for demonstrations of their own.
Adam Booze-Hall is one of many people who said they met in downtown Macon to protest for justice on Monday.
"Today, we are doing peaceful protesting and activism for the brutal killings of George Floyd and the other people within communities of color," said Booze-Hall.
Booze-Hall said he and other people are living in fear and want to change that. He was joined with organizer Brandon Jackson who said he wants to stop seeing people's lives taken away so soon.
"We're protesting against all violence --all police violence, all-colored violence, all gang violence -- any kind of violence that we can stop, we are going to try to stop. Our main goal is to stop the violence in Macon Georgia before the violence gets even worse here," said Jackson.
More than two dozen people, including children, held signs and chanted for change. Among the crowd was Artivins Thorpe who said he was disappointed to see protests turn to riots in some parts of the country.
"Overall, the fact that someone lost their life and they're just tearing up and burning their cities, that was just heartbreaking," said Thorpe.
Booze-Hall explained what he hopes people will learn from the protests.
"All murder is wrong, whether it's an officer that's killed us or we've killed one of our own," said Booze-Hall.
Protesters say they will continue to protest every day this week from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
