Members of Citizen Action of New York’s Central New York Chapter will be holding a rally to protest against racism and police brutality on Saturday in Rome.

A local advocate for diversity weighed in on the Minneapolis killing of George Floyd and the protests and violence around the country.

Brian Jweid, Director of Civil Service Administration for Oneida County, was one of the many who tuned in to see what was going on at the site of the protest, and came across a particular man who has a dream - and he wants to help.

The protest also included three uniformed Utica Police members.
