The America's Journey for Justice walkers will be walking from Shaw University to the Bicentennial Mall on Thursday, September 3. We can join them - either walking with them or greeting them at the Mall - to show our support for voting rights.
America's Journey for Justice walkers began in Selma and are walking to Washington DC, stopping along the way in communities at gatherings supporting voting rights. People from Community UCC will accompany them this Thursday on the Raleigh leg of their walk. This is an event where crowd size matters, so come. Appropriate for all ages.
Options for participation:
Shaw University (118 East South Street) - Walk is to start at 4PM. Look for the vertical CUCC banner. The walk is about 1 mile long.
Bicentennial Mall - The walkers are due to arrive at the Mall 5-ish, which is when a rally should begin. It is planned to last about 45 minutes. If you want to join the CUCC crowd, look for the vertical banner to arrive.
I'm sure many CUCC people plan to attend, but I know you can look for Edith, Gary, Joan, Mac and myself.
