The Black Student Union will hold another student walkout Thursday, May 2, at 10 a.m., in honor of the Black Panther march on the same day in 1967, when, according to The Sacramento Bee, two dozen armed Black Panthers marched to the state Capitol for gun reform.

According to BSU President Joshua Robinson, the walkout is for designed to spread awareness about police reform. Robinson said the main group will gather at the Crocker Art Museum, but that students can start from wherever their school is—whether City College, Sacramento State or one of the local high schools—and march to the Capitol.

“We are standing in solidarity with the March For Our Lives that advocated for stricter gun laws, and we’re adding police gun reform to the agenda as well,” said Robinson.

Robinson also said that students should walk out with BSU because gun violence is an issue affecting everyone.

The BSU seeks to spread awareness by using what they call the “six pillars,” Robinson said. The first pillar is criminalizing deadly force, the second is having independent investigation of deadly use of force, the third is to demilitarize police, the fourth is police accountability, and the fifth is mental health crisis training.

The sixth pillar—which Robinson stressed was most important—is building a relationship with the police because there of the long history of mistrust between people of color and community police forces.

Robinson said that throughout the walkout, students should learn about the issues with current laws, rethink the way police are allowed to use guns and prioritize de-escalation.

“We want the brutality and murder of black people to stop,” said Robinson.
