Geneva Reed-Veal, mother of 28-year-old Sandra Bland, who died in police custody, along with Eric Garner’s mother, Gwen Garner, and Trayvon Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton, have joined ranks with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The women spoke during a Feb. 23 pro-Clinton forum in South Carolina. Reed-Veal also stumped for Clinton before the Nevada primary by introducing the candidate to a crowd of African-American voters in Chicago.
Support from the Garner family is divided, with Garner’s daughter, Erica Garner — who became a civil rights activist after her father’s death in New York — throwing support behind Bernie Sanders.
