Protest

Vigil Against Racism Starts at 5pm on 16th Street, NW

By Prince Of Petworth


Bells Chiming Wed. Night

Thanks to all who passed on the info:

“On Friday night, people will be lining up along 16th St for a vigil and in solidarity with the protesters. It seems that most of the places of worship will be participating, and all neighbors are invited to attend as well. From the invitation: “Bell ringing at 5:45 p.m. If your place of worship has bells, we invite you to toll them, beginning at 5:45 p.m. and lasting 8 minutes, 46 seconds, in remembrance of the brutal killing of George Floyd. Those standing on 16th Street may kneel during the tolling of the bells.”

“Can you maybe stress the importance of unity and safety in numbers?”

“Dear PoPville,

Can you maybe stress the importance of unity and safety in numbers? This evening at Lafayette, immediately after a large group returned from marching to the Capitol, they took about half of the remaining folks with them for another march.

Leaving maybe two or three dozen people at Lafayette with an entire army.

It’s a mistake we’ve made over and over, and only leads to arrests and violence. Black lives are not being prioritized.“
