Washington, DC – Over 100 community members and organizers from the DC Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (DCAARPR) gathered on Saturday in Ward 8 to enjoy a cookout in support of the Butler Family. The cookout, hosted by the DC Alliance, featured activities for the kids (such as a bounce house), along with music, dancing, games and plenty of food.

The DC Alliance organized the event to support five defendants – Ronald Butler, Donte Butler Sr., Donte Butler Jr., Frederick Simms and Jermaine Irving Jr. – all family members, who were brutally attacked by Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers in an incident that underscores the racist violence embedded in policing.
