The rally on June 12 featured a number of speakers, including Tim Stevens of the Black Political Empowerment Project; activist rapper Jasiri X; community activist Paradise Gray; Green Party congressional candidate Ed Bortz; Bret Grote of the activist group HRC-Fed Up, and Miles' mother and grandmother and some Mends from CAPA.

Some efforts behind the scenes and others out front keep the focus.""I meant to wear my Jonny Gammage button for the statement it makes," said Stevens.
