Dozens of community activists and shooting victims' families gathered to promote healing and change in Kenosha following the Kyle Rittenhouse trial."What we're here today for is a very simple call. We want to reimagine what our community looks like," said activist Kyle Johnson. “We need to heal, and when we say heal we don’t mean going back to the status quo, because we saw where that got us, we mean improving.” Johnson and other community members said the Rittenhouse verdict should be a new beginning for change."We start a new chapter here in Kenosha," said Kyle Flood, a former school board member and activist. "A chapter where we start to reimagine what Kenosha looks like. We reimagine a demilitarized police where people never have to start a riot."They said they hope to improve the criminal justice system, schooling, housing and other issues in Kenosha."I just want the city of Kenosha to understand ... that nobody here is ever going to stop. No one here is going to stop attempting to expose the flaws in the system," said Hannah Gittings, the girlfriend of Anthony Huber who was shot and killed by Rittenhouse during the 2020 unrest."I miss Anthony every single day," she tearfully said. "I wish I could come home to him to unload, but I can't because he's dead. And now the system is telling me no one needs to answer to that, and I have a problem with that."She said all the community can do now is move forward.
