Protesters gathered in Union Square Tuesday to denounce what they called police brutality, citing the deaths of unarmed black and Latino men at the hands of police.

After the rally, they marched on Broadway and then to the Brooklyn Bridge, where they partially blocked traffic.

The protest was one of 28 being held at locations across the country.

Organizers of the group, called 'National Actions to Stop Murder By Police', said more than 90 unarmed people have been killed by police since the start of 2015.

They referred to the deaths of Eric Garner in Staten Island, Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and Walter Scott in South Carolina, among others.

The group was joined by family members of some of the victims.
