An organizer with the Virginia chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation speaks to the crowd. PSL members have been active demonstrators against President Trump during his second term, along with 50501 Virginia.

The killing of Renee Nicole Good has drawn national attention as the Trump administration claimed the woman posed a threat to ICE officials, while state and local officials say that is untrue.

Around 15 Richmond Police officers oversaw the spontaneous Monroe Park rally. Police vehicles surrounded the perimeter of the park. One officer told The CT they wanted to make sure everyone was safe, and not escalating akin to the “Black Lives Matter” protests of 2020.

Organizers of the Richmond protest said they plan to do more. They asked demonstrators to meet them again tomorrow at a separate location.
