The racial justice signs are up on the CUCC property and are ready for your collaboration! CUCC Youth wanted our church to respond after Raleigh’s powerful demonstration on May 31, opposing systemic racism and police violence, so they created two large signs consisting of four large black panels. Two with bold neon words and two blank chalkboards for the community to add their own messages for justice. One panel reads “No Justice, No Peace” and one reads “Silence Is Violence.” This past Sunday, Allan Beidler, Tim Jensen, Jackson Kiel, and Paul Kiel installed the signs on our grounds, near the Dixie Trail entrance.
Starting this Sunday, please make a plan to visit them and add your own bold message for racial justice. There will be a waterproof box with bright chalk and hand wipes. Please stop by anytime after Sunday (wearing a mask) and allow our signs a greater impact by adding your own message of solidarity. Also, feel free to invite others in the community to do the same. Don’t remain silent, let’s fill these panels with our voices!
We thank our youth for their dedication to justice. We thank Śānti, Paul, Jackson, Allan, and Tim for their support, hard work, and creativity! We thank Zenna for her leadership. And we thank you in advance for adding to our collaborative, social justice, public art.
