Central Valley | Racial JusticeAfrican American March for Justice
The African American March for Justice took place on March 1 in West Fresno. Over 100 people marched, bringing demands of homeless rights, ending the war in Iraq, police accountability, and an end to city officials calling African American youth terrorists, to the streets of West Fresno. At the conclusion of the march a program was held where community activists were honored, music was performed, and food was served. Below is a video where Rev. Floyd Harris explains why we marched.  600_march_1.jpg

Community Hospital had repeatedly discharged Sherri, once giving her a one way taxi ride to a dirt field. Al believes that Sherri’s life could have been saved if she had been given the operation she needed instead of being released without adequate treatment. Homeless rights was an important part of this march.
