Leicht Memorial Park, 100 Dousman, Green Bay, WI – 11 A.M.

Sunday June 7th, We are marching for all Black Lives lost due to oppression and systematic racism. We stand in support and cry for Justice for all BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) who are victims of police brutality.

Finishing the Work: Solidarity March

This Solidarity March is sponsored, planned, and organized by the local pastors of the African American Council of Churches. The purpose of this March is to bring the faith community (All others are welcomed to march as well) together to stand up and speak out against racism, injustice and declare “Black Lives Matter.”

This is not a political March but it is one that will cry out for justice. This march is not because of one singular event but for the many years of oppression African Americans have experienced in this nation.

We will start gathering at 530pm at the corner of University and Park street. Bethel Lutheran Church has agreed to allow us to use their parking lot which is located at 312 Wisconsin Ave, Madison, WI.

We will march through Library Mall, down State Street, and end at the City-County Building. We will stop every 8 minutes and 46 seconds to be reminded of how long that police officer was on the neck of Mr. George Floyd before he murdered him.

We are asking everyone to wear a mask.**** We will try our very best to practice some form of social distancing.

If you desire to drop off cases of water please bring to the starting point or the City-County Building no later than 5 pm Sunday, June 7, 2020.

If you are unable to march we understand. You can meet us at the City-County Building and park your car or find a location where you can sit apart from the crowd. We will have this event streaming on our Facebook page also. More than anything we ask for your prayers.

An excerpt of Paul Robeson’s speech in support of anti-facist forces during the Spanish Civil War.

Transcript: Today, the artist cannot hold himself aloof. Through the destruction in certain countries of the greatest of human’s cultural heritage, through the propagation of false ideas of racial and national superiority – the scientist, the writer, the artist, is challenged. The challenge must be taken up. For this culture, a legacy from our predecessors, is the foundation upon which we build a higher and all-embracing culture. It belongs not only to us, not only to the present generation, it belongs to our posterity, and must be courageously defended.

The forces of reaction have made no distinction between combatants and noncombatants. The beautiful village of Guernica, nestled in the Basque hills, with its blood soaked streets, is proof enough of that. These victims must be given every possible aid. This, common humanity demands.

Shortly before her execution by the British SAS in Gibraltar in 1988 IRA volunteer Mairéad Farrell gives a rare interview with Springhill Community House about the women’s prison struggle in Armagh Gaol.
