DES MOINES, Iowa — A demonstration for George Floyd is again underway in Des Moines, this time near the Price Chopper on Ingersoll.

This comes as Polk County's curfew once again begins at 9:00 p.m., running until 5:00 a.m.

Local 5's Eva Andersen noticed activists pushing the Des Moines Mutual Aid Bail fund, if demonstrators get arrested.

Demonstrators seeking justice for Floyd's death up in Minneapolis last week were getting ready to march.

Demonstrators then made their way to Des Moines Mayor Frank Cownie's home.

Here's the Facebook Live from those events:
