Solidarity Gathering for Movement for Black Lives

Past event
Jun 20, 2020, 2 to 3 PM

Gather at the intersection of VT.15 and River Road, Jericho from 2-3pm, Sat., June 20, 2020 to stand in solidarity with people of good will across the nation for justice for people of color.

Next Friday is Juneteenth, a day that honors Black freedom and Black resistance and centers Black people's unique contribution to the struggle for justice in the U.S.

That weekend, June 19-21, the Movement for Black Lives is asking us to show up in the streets to continue the fight for Black lives with three demands: defund the police, invest in Black communities, and call for the resignation of Donald Trump.

In cities all across the country, this movement is forcing an urgent conversation about shifting massive spending away from policing that doesn't keep us safe and reinvesting it in a shared vision of community safety, living-wage jobs, schools, housing, and healthcare. With Trump continuing to perpetuate white supremacy from the White House and calling for violence, we must continue rising up for Black, Brown and Indigenous lives.

Time to tear down those walls of prejudice.
