BLM: Stand Up, Fight Back: Superbowl LI Protest March
Herman Park 6001 Fannin, Houston, United StatesIt is time for the city government of Houston to see how diverse we are. The grand claim was made that we are a "welcoming city," but the treatment of the local homeless community, gentrification, lack clarity on where our elected leaders stand on Trump's policies and of course the issue of anti Blackness need to be addressed.
We are not one big happy family until justice is extended to all!
WE WILL MARCH UP FANIN FROM HERMANN PARK TO NRG PARK. RAIN OR SHINE.
