About 60 people gathered Wednesday at Mountain View Commons in Port Townsend to hold a “die-in” of 8 minutes, 46 seconds to commemorate the period of time that George Floyd was pinned to the ground by a now-former Minneapolis, Minn., police officer who kept a knee on Floyd’s neck while he died.
Names of black and Native people who have died at the hands of police officers were read.
Missing and murdered Native women were remembered.
The protest then marched to the state Highway 20 intersection in Port Townsend.
