Organizers sought to draw attention to the death of Albert Garcia, a 56-year-old unhoused man whom they say died of heat exposure.
Protesters hold up signs in front of San Antonio city offices demanding accountability for the treatment of the community's unhoused population.
In particular, organizers sought to draw attention to the death of Albert Garcia, a 56-year-old man who lived under a West Side highway off-ramp. Friends said Garcia succumbed to the summer's extreme heat on Aug. 12, although the medical examiner has yet to release an official cause of death. "Albert is not the only vulnerable person who's had a heat-related death or injury this summer," said Maria Turvin, whose nonprofit Yanawana Herbolarios helped organize the protest."Anytime you have a natural disaster like this, we're going to have unhoused relatives who pass."
