Comrade,
As protests against racial injustice continue around the U.S. and across the world, the Movement for Black Lives is calling for a mass mobilization in D.C. on Juneteenth (tomorrow). The demands for political leaders are simple: defund the police and invest in Black communities.
Our DSA chapter is showing up to this call by organizing a march — which will coincide with other, simultaneous marches in D.C. — that will take place tomorrow evening. Can you join us?
Full details about the march are below:
-
When: TOMORROW, Friday, June 19, 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm
-
Where: Meet at Hancock Park at 800 C St SW, Washington, DC 20024
-
Why: As a response to the call for actions throughout D.C. from the Movement for Black Lives and Black Lives Matter D.C.
-
What: We'll meet at Hancock Park (7th St and C St SW) near the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station at 5:00 pm. At 5:30 pm, we'll begin marching from Hancock to Black Lives Matter Plaza in front of the White House. Other marches will converge on the White House at the same time.
-
Rain Plan: This event will occur rain or shine, but will be cancelled in the event of thunderstorms.
What to Bring/Wear: Comfortable shoes, water bottle, protest signs, umbrella and/or raincoat.
