“Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year; it is the struggle of lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” — John Lewis

Grab a mask and join us at Goodale Park for a peaceful rally to support Black Lives Matter, Black liberation, justice, and the valuing of black lives. We will rally in the park with passionate speakers and march to allow our voices to be heard.

Change comes from persistent efforts and the warrior spirit of those who wish to create a better world. We must let them know that we are still here and that we will not submit or give up. We are uniting across racial and socioeconomic lines, in unity, to protect, uplift, empower and embolden Black Lives.

Speakers include:

• Kiara Yakita

• Kiara Curry

• Jessica Smiley

• Kevin Hagans

There will be Yoga with Ellen at the gazebo at 5:30pm.

Hosted by Black Lives Matter Central Ohio.
