'We Aren't Silent:' San Marcos, county residents demonstrate for justice

Hundreds gathered near the steps of the Hays County Historic Courthouse Friday afternoon to seek justice for George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. 

Chants of Black Lives Matter filled the Square as the group marched around the courthouse for nearly an hour. Erika Klodnicki, 19, who organized the event, said she was surprised at the large turnout. 

“I actually started organizing this Wednesday night,” Klodnicki said. “I started with a group of friends on Snapchat. I just sent them a message individually. I said, ‘hey, would y’all be down to do a protest if we put one together and did it?’ And they said, ‘yes, definitely.’
