“We created this event to honor the lives of Rekia Boyd, Freddie Gray, Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, Ayana Stanley-Jones, Mike Brown and anyone else that has been killed or victimized by excessive police force,” reads a Facebook post signed by Simmons. 
Those wanting to attend the event must RSVP to gain entry. The Town Hall meeting’s goal is to, “help end any more senseless deaths by reforming and reframing police officers practices, policies, and procedures.”
