Protestors took to one of Washington’s busiest highways on Sunday afternoon, blocking traffic in both directions of Interstate 395.

The event was the latest response to a grand jury decision Nov. 24, refusing to prosecute a police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black teen in Ferguson, Mo.

The Washington Post notes the group on Interstate 395 on Sunday formed a human chain across the interstate, blocking traffic in both directions on the busiest travel day of the year.

Michael Brown, 18, was shot and killed by officer Darren Wilson in a confrontation on Aug. 9, 2014. The grand jury decision set off protests across the country. Wilson resigned from the police force on Saturday.
