What: March For Ohio Families Killed By Police: Hundreds will march to honor families in our state who have lost loved ones at the hands of police. Protesters will be wearing red to symbolize the bloodshed caused by police brutality.

Who: Ohio parents of people lost to police violence, Adrienne Hood mother of Henry Green (Columbus), Sabrina Jordan, the mother of Jamarco McShann (Dayton), People’s Justice Project

Where: Participants will gather at Columbus City Hall and march to and around the Ohio Statehouse where speeches will be made.

When: Organizers will be available for interviews at Columbus City Hall beginning at 3:30pm, at 4pm community members will gather, the march will step off from there and speakers will begin at the Ohio Statehouse.

Why: As millions of people around the world demand justice for George Floyd, political and civic leaders in Columbus and across Ohio have taken a stand for #BlackLivesMatter. While we are encouraged by the words of support, they ring hollow without taking meaningful action to bring justice for the many families who have lost their loved ones to anti-Black racist police violence right here in Ohio like Henry Green, Tamir Rice, Sam Dubose, John Crawford, Tanisha Anderson, Ty’re King, Julius Tate, and so many others. We march to say that they are gone, but never forgotten, and that we will continue to fight until justice is won.
