  Protests over police brutality in Black communities have brought thousands of people to the streets of downtown Syracuse in recent weeks. One of the groups helping to organize these rallies is Raha Syracuse, a muslim youth group. Youth have played a big role in past movements as well as this one. WAER's Katie Zilcosky talked to Raha about their goals for changing the community.
