Event hosted by 01027: A Knee is Not Enough in partnership with Massachusetts Jobs with Justice!/ Western Mass. Jobs with Justice!
WHAT: March, rally, and BIPOC speakers (more information to come). We ask that everyone adhere to social distancing guidelines & wear masks at all times. We will be making SIGNS together or bring your own. We encourage you to bring NOISEMAKERS.
*We are looking for VOLUNTEERS, email akneeisnotenough@gmail.com.
WHERE: More information to be provided soon.
WHO: YOU! and 01027: A Knee is Not Enough, a BIPOC led, community-based, grassroots group that was founded in partnership with Massachusetts Jobs with Justice! after the Easthampton police department and public officials took a knee for eight and a half minutes to acknowledge the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police, but did not follow up with further action.
We demand that the city of Easthampton commits to more than just a symbolic protest on behalf of Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color in our city. Because police violence is an ever-present threat in our country and in our city, we demand that the city of Easthampton and the Easthampton Police Department commit to reallocating their resources, investing in our community, and prioritizing the safety and well being of BIPOC people in Easthampton and beyond.
Our list of demands can be found here: https://bit.ly/01027akine
