The San Francisco Bay Area is in the midst of a "day of action" in response to police shootings of black men in Tulsa, Okla., and St.

Louis, Mo., and a grand jury's decision not to indict a white police officer in the deaths of two unarmed black men.

The Contra Costa Times reports that hundreds of people took to the streets in Richmond, Calif., on Saturday, carrying signs and chanting, "Black lives matter" and "No justice, no peace."

The group organizing the events is called RCF Connects, and its website says it's here to "disrupt racist, biased, and discriminatory practices" and to "build systems to disrupt racist, biased, and discriminatory practices."

One of the unarmed men killed in Tulsa, Eric Garner, was 32, and the grand jury's decision wasn't announced until Monday.

The St.

Louis Post-Dispatch has the full text of the grand jury's decision.
