After a grand jury announced its decision Dec. 3 to not press charges against New York police officer Daniel Pantaleo for the death of Eric Garner by chokehold on July 17, protesters have held rallies and lie-down demonstrations nationwide.

At Ithaca College, over 300 students took part in a die-in protest on Dec. 4 in three areas of campus: outside of Emerson Suites, IC Square and in front of the college’s Information Desk.

Students marched, rallied and lay down in the three areas of campus while chanting phrases like “hands up, don’t shoot” and “no peace, no justice” to bring attention to issues of structural violence and racial injustice.

The protest lasted approximately 40 minutes.
