Armed with signs reading "Black lives matter" the group marched down George Street to the steps of the Supreme Court before arriving at NSW parliament on Wednesday afternoon chanting "They say accident, we say murder".
The protest brought together 13 families who have experienced the death of a family member in custody or prison.
Many people held banners with photos of David Dungay who in December 2015 died in Sydney's Long Bay prison hospital after a struggle with guards in his cell.
"Our families have been fighting for justice for a long period of time," Monica Kelly told the rally.
"We are not about to give up."
Greens MP David Shoebridge spoke at the rally and criticised governments for failing indigenous Australians.
"Our government - state and federal - have failed to sit down and speak to our nation's people," he told the crowd.
"This is a united demand because every single black life matters."
