The heartbreak of losing a child, a sister a brother, a nephew, a friend, it’s the club no one wants to join yet there are members across the country. At the Left Forum in New York City, Love Not Blood Campaign brought together victim families who gave testimony about their experiences with police.

Mike Brown Sr. is still looking for justice in the death of his son, Mike Brown Jr. He traveled to NYC from Ferguson, Mo. He spoke about the horror of learning his son was dead. So did Andrew Joseph who traveled to NYC from Tampa, Fla. He lost his 14 year old, Andrew Johnson III. Kendrick Johnson's mom, Jacquelyn Johnson also shared her story.
