Photos: People protest and gather in solidarity for Daunte Wright, Adam Toledo and victims of police violence

Two protests were held in Philadelphia to both stand in solidarity with those who have lost their lives at the hands of police and to demand justice, specifically for Daunte Wright, who was fatally shot by police in Brooklyn Center, Minn. last Sunday on Saturday, April 17, 2021. The protesters also chanted the name of Adam Toledo, a 13-year-old who was fatally shot by police in Chicago late last month.
