Hundreds of Moab protestors called for an end to police brutality and systemic racism during a large demonstration Friday night. Actions included a silent vigil, a march through downtown stretching three blocks long, and 20 minutes of peacefully blocking Main Street while chanting the last words of George Floyd, a Black man who was recently killed by a white police officer.

We spoke with several about why they showed up to demonstrate, and their questions and demands of local law enforcement.
