“Demonstrators gather in Brentwood in response to noosed effigy”
As the country awaited for the presidential results of this past week, high emotions were on display in light of a close race between President-elect Joe Biden and President Donald Trump.
In Brentwood, California, part of this emotional intensity stemmed from a resident hanging a hooded effigy off of his home with a noose. According to Brentwood residents, the effigy is offensive to Black and Brown community members and represents a history of violence against them. 
A coalition of organizations, including Antioch Solidarity and East Bay Resistance, organized an event in which approximately 125 individuals marched from City Park in Downtown Brentwood to the Brentwood Police Department on Friday, and subsequently to the home of Eric Harvey, the Brentwood resident responsible for decorating his home with the effigy. The goal of the march was to speak against racism and police brutality in Brentwood in response to Harvey’s actions. 
Harvey, whose home is covered in political support for sitting President Donald Trump, has been the subject of local ire since hanging an effigy of Joe Biden from his second-story home on Nov. 5. On the Biden dummy was a sign that read, “Sleepy Joe (Cheater).”
