Kathleen Espinosa (not in this picture), mother of SFPD murder victim Asa Sullivan described carrying the Stolen Lives banner during the march. “I helped carry at times the banner of Stolen Lives (from The October 22nd Stolen Lives Project). If anyone stepped off the sidewalk, which was easy to do if the walk area got narrow, the whole group of people were pushed back onto the sidewalk by the police. Mind you, there were many women and some children in our group. Family members and others held the pictures of the victims of police killings high…This showed our rights to walk on Oakland city streets is not a right in Oakland when police are ordered to block peaceful people by blocking their way by force."
