This movement is in response to the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody.

Scott, her daughter and activist Shamika Parrish-Wright claim officers violated their constitutional rights and inflicted "severe emotional distress." 

The alleged incident took place just three days after protests for Breonna Taylor, a Black woman shot and killed in March 2020 by white LMPD officers in her home, broke out in downtown Louisville. 

The demonstration outside the convention center was met with criticism from parents of cheerleaders and others who were upset at comments directed toward children participating in the competition. 

The summit was held just days before the one-year anniversary of Breonna Taylor's death.

A banner pinned to the Big Four Bridge summed up the mission of protests outside Churchill Downs: No Justice, No Derby.
