. . CRIME AND CRIMINALS: MURDER SUICIDE : POLICE BRUTALITY : UNITED STATES: STATES: MISSOURI: Mom, Daughter Trek 750 Miles on $100 Budget to Join 'Weekend of Resistance' . . Mom, Daughter Trek 750 Miles on $100 Budget to Join 'Weekend of Resistance' By Michael Martinez, Bill Kirkos and Stephanie Elam CNN updated 8:06 PM EDT, Saturday October 11, 2014 http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/11/us/ferguson-weekend-protests/ . .St. Louis, Missouri (CNN) -- Hundreds of demonstrators marched 12 miles Saturday from Ferguson, Missouri, to a downtown St. Louis plaza near its iconic Arch to deliver a message: They want the police officer who killed Michael Brown to be charged with a crime.
.But few protesters traveled as far as Sara Benjamin, 23, and daughter Imari, 5.
.They trekked 750 miles from Baltimore to attend the Justice For All Rally on St Louis' Kiener Plaza.
."I came down here because I'm the mother of a 5-year-old, and we wanted to show our solidarity with the people of Ferguson," Benjamin said. "I think this is an attempt to break up the black community by targeting black men."
.She was referring to how a white Ferguson police officer fatally shot Brown, 18, who was black and unarmed, on August 9.
.By splitting costs with others for gas, food and lodging, the trip cost her a little over $100, Benjamin said.
.Civil rights activists calling for charges to be brought against the police officer who killed Brown advanced a second day of protests Saturday, with no arrests, injuries or property damage reported in the first day of marches, St. Louis County police said.
.The protests, dubbed a "Ferguson October" and "Weekend of Resistance," are taking place in Ferguson, St. Louis and the surrounding area.
. snip ."Our country can no longer deny the epidemic of police violence facing black and brown communities," the movement's website states. "Mike Brown is now part of a long list of people like John Crawford, Ezell Ford, Eric Garner, Oscar Grant and countless others who have been unjustly killed by police. Their lives mattered."
.Demonstrations on Friday night focused on the Ferguson Police Department, which is facing a storm of criticism in the wake of Brown's death.
