Description
From the Vermont Racial Justice Alliance:
After discussions with the family of the young Black man that was assaulted and drugged by our "public safety system" (in his home), we proceed with a speak-out tomorrow afternoon! The gut-wrenching details of this Black young man's story sadly originated and have returned him to the DCF system. His defining moment? The police!
We cannot stand by silently on these matters, allowing them to be normalized anymore. It's time to stop the harm and repair the damage done to Black bodies across Vermont. If this is public safety, we don't want it!
Join us for this speakout at City Hall steps where the family's remarks will also be shared.
