Many Indianapolis downtown businesses are suffering after being shut down due to COVID-19 and now dealing with the aftermath of the riots.

Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett has issued a new curfew order for Marion County that will be in effect Friday and Saturday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

More than 100 people gathered at Monument Circle Thursday evening, nearly a week after protests first started in downtown Indianapolis in response to police violence, including the police shooting of Dreasjon Reed.

Indy 10 Black Lives Matter's Jessica Louise, South Bend Black Lives Matter's Jorden Giger, and Fort Wayne organizer Daylana Saunders discuss the week of protests and the demands for change.

Demonstrations are flaring up across the country to protest the deaths of Black Americans at the hands of police. Theyre also calling attention to broader inequalities. One of those areas -- health disparities -- kills Black Americans in massive numbers.

For the sixth night hundreds of protestors took to the streets of downtown Indianapolis.

The protest, White Coats For Black Lives, was organized to address health disparities and racism in medicine.

Health care providers say they marching against systemic racism in health care, and health disparities -- calling it a public health crisis.

Attorneys representing the family of Dreasjon "Sean" Reed, a black man killed by Indianapolis police last month, spoke out Wednesday and said they are asking the federal government to investigate his death.

Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett says he does not plan to extend the curfew to Wednesday and Thursday nights, but indicated curfew orders are being planned for Friday and Saturday nights.
