Members from Detroit Will Breathe organized Monday's demonstration at Detroit Public Safety Headquarters.
The group took the microphone disclosing 23 demands which includes a call to defund the Detroit Police Department.
The cry for change comes following national outrage after a white ex-police officer was seen on-camera kneeling on George Floyd's neck subsequently leading to his death.
Detroit's 8 p.m. curfew has been lifted and Mayor Duggan is expected to speak with organizers about their demands Tuesday.
