Show respect for Juneteenth by showing up to #endwhitesilence!
What it is:
Stand in front of the police station with signs that include #EndWhiteSilence
As people arrive, space out 6ft apart lining the sidewalks, extending down the blocks (east and west on University, north and south on Vine)
Everyone is welcome! And, we are especially calling in white folks to make a commitment to talk to bosses, coworkers, representatives, friends, family, etc. and let them know about your support for the Movement for Black Lives (https://m4bl.org/) and call them in to join you. You could even make that call/text/insta/post while you are there…
Here is a toolkit to help you out!
