Organized by Together We Stand
From the organizers:
Over 2000 people showed up to denounce white supremacy in Martinez last July and we call upon you to do it again! The couple who defaced the BLM mural and were touted as “HEROS” on Tucker Carlson are finally going to court. We will be there to stand with DA Diana Becton who had the courage to charge them with a HATE CRIME, which it was! These two have been online ever since fanning the flames of racism within the community. This is never going to end unless we consistently show up and demand change.

Social distancing can be difficult at these actions, so if you do attend please be aware of that, wear a mask, and bring hand sanitizer.
We understand that many are concerned about the community spread of the Coronavirus. No one is required to attend, but we encourage everyone to take action in the ways that they can to stand against police brutality and the oppression of communities of color. dxe.io/blacklivesmatter
DxE's mission statement emphasizes that, “We reject the speciesism that enables the mass torture and killing of nonhuman animals and the blatant disregard for their home - our planet - AS WELL AS the unjust and oppressive institutions and ideologies that harm ALL animals” and that absolutely includes humans!
Thank you to our many community members who have been actively and regularly attending the protests and marches.
