The peaceful protest will begin at 10.30am and the march will start at Kempsey Shire Library on Elbow St and finish at the Riverside Park.
A coronial inquest into the death of the Dunghutti man began in July of 2018 but it was adjourned to return in September this year.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported in January of 2017, that the cell extraction was triggered as Mr Dungay, who was diagnosed with diabetes, was eating a packet of Tim Tams.
The guards were worried about the complications the Tim Tams could cause Mr Dungay.
In the ensuring extraction, the 26-year-old, who was being treated for schizophrenia, was relocated to another cell, which was equipped with CCTV, and was wrestled to the ground, held down and injected with a sedative.
During the incident, Mr Dungay complained he couldn't breath.
Mr Dungay died shortly after.
Mr Dungay's nephew Paul Silver told the Argus the family has been through a burdensome four years and said the pain lingers due to the lengthy process.
"It happened almost four years ago but it still feels fresh, as if it happened yesterday," Mr Silver said.
"We haven't been able to have any closure because we still don't have proper answers. We are hoping for a good outcome from the coronial inquest."
Mr Silver believes more than 100 people are expected for the march and claims the purpose of the peaceful protest is to continue their pursuit for justice.
"We want to continue to fight for justice for David," Mr Silver said.
"But we also want to raise awareness for amount of deaths of incarcerated Indigenous people there are each year."
Mr Silver encourages locals to show their support by attending the march.
"Family members and friends will be there but we also want community members who believe in our fight to show their support by attending," Mr Silver said.
The coronial inquest will recommence on September 13.
