10 Anchor Community Activations:
From Los Angeles to Newark, Oakland to Cleveland, local leaders mobilized in city halls, public forums, and peace walks. We shared stories, delivered demands, and showed the nation what collective power looks like.
What’s Next:
Share photos and videos from the Day of Action on social media, including powerful remarks from Congresswoman Robin Kelly (D-IL) and Congressman Steven Horsford (D-NV) during the Washington, DC press event which can be viewed on Instagram @cjactionfund and @citiesunited. Continue using the #ProtectCVI hashtag and graphics to keep the momentum going.
Contact your Members of Congress and ask them to demand that the DOJ restore the canceled grant awards.
