Maria Hamilton, the mother of Dontre Hamilton, a 31-year-old unarmed black man shot fourteen times for sleeping in a public park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin – will be in Washington D.C. this weekend for the Inaugural Million Moms March against police brutality. Mothers from across the country are joining Mothers For Justice United on May 9th — which is Maria’s birthday, and the one year anniversary of the day she buried her son — they will march to the Department of Justice to present their demands, in the name of their children and to say “No More”.
