Demonstrators walked past crowded restaurants and through Sundance Square plaza in the heart of downtown Fort Worth Saturday night, pushing for mandatory masks in schools.

Between chants of “protect our kids” and “no masks, no school,” they also targeted Board President Tobi Jackson, calling on her to have the school board vote on a mask rule.

The demonstrations come after a week when the Fort Worth Independent School District joined a lawsuit against Governor Greg Abbott and his executive order preventing a mask mandate.
