About.

On Juneteenth (June 19th, 2020) please join us for a march of unity, solidarity and love!

We chose Juneteenth, because it’s a day of celebration marking the end of slavery— a day when we should focus on love and hope—even if daily acts of racist oppression show us how far we are from real Emancipation. But by marching together on Juneteenth in a spirit of love, we’re showing that we’re committed to continuing the work of those like Ruby Bridges that fought before us.

We will be gathering at Brooklyn Bridge Park at 6 p.m., stepping off at 6:30pm, to walk across the bridge. In Manhattan, we’ll stop by the African Burial Ground for a moment of silence, then proceed to City Hall where we’ll have a brief celebration/rally.

This is a masked and physical distancing march—measures we take to show our love for each other. We are also committed to nonviolence and sharing a peace/love vibe, but since we can’t control everything, we will have trained marshals on hand.

As always, random acts of kindness are encouraged! Perhaps bring an extra bottle of water for someone else! Or a spare mask. Instead of chanting and singing, things that might spread the virus, we’re encouraging people to think about other kinds of noisemakers.

See you there!
