This is peaceful protest in the name of justice for George Floyd, the latest victim of police brutality and racial injustice in America.
George Floyd was an African-American man who died on May 25, 2020, after Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer, knelt on Floyd’s neck for at least seven minutes while Floyd was handcuffed, lying face down on the road, and pleading for his life.
Please join us in solidarity with our neighbors in Springfield, IL. We need to let our local authorities know that we will not stand for this. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE. Bring signs and your loudest voice, please respect social distancing during this PEACEFUL protest. Safety is still important.
