Patrisse Cullors posted a video on Instagram Thursday to her 371,000 followers
She said now is the time to 'fight for more' and 'get us closer to a place where there are no jails or prisons or surveillance' in America
Cullors said she hopes Chauvin's conviction 'makes George Floyd's family feel better' but said Floyd would still be alive if the justice system had been abolished
She said Bryant's 'murder' also shows there is 'no justice' for black people
Chauvin was found guilty of all charges Tuesday in the murder of Floyd, after the white cop knelt on the black man's neck for more than nine minutes
Just minutes before he was convicted, black 16-year-old Bryant was shot dead by a cop in Columbus, Ohio, while lunging at a woman with a knife
Cullors has long called for the abolition of the criminal justice system as it is today, including its prisons, police, ICE detention centers and jails
Instead, she calls for a move to transformative justice with law enforcement funding redirected to initiatives that directly serve communities
Cullors has come under scrutiny of late after it emerged she had accrued a $3 million property empire of four homes in recent years
