    Protesters march against police violence in Atlanta on Monday. The event coincides with state lawmakers returning to work after the session was halted for three months amid concern about the spread of the coronavirus.

    Hundreds of protesters descended on the Georgia state capitol Monday to demand an end to systemic criminal justice failures including police brutality, voter suppression and to abolish the state's citizen arrest law.

    The demonstration came as state lawmakers returned to work after the current session was halted for three months amid concern about the spread of the coronavirus.

    It also comes on the heels of a tumultuous period for the state, that includes long voting lines and voting deficiencies during the state's primary election last week and over the weekend, following the police shooting death of a black man, Rayshard Brooks, during a DUI stop.
