Families of people who had died during police encounters, supported by associations, unions and anti-racist activists, called a Paris march against police violence, racism, impunity and the state of emergency. The initiative placed racialized communities and bereaved families at the center of public debate. It also revealed disagreements among activists about language, political alliances and how to build a common movement. The march predated the 2020 global Black Lives Matter protests and belongs to a longer French anti-racist organizing history.
