Floyd - 5 Years
Mark your calendars!
Pride may be around the corner but our org's foundations rest on our anti-racism work. We never stopped fighting. Fanta Bility in 2021, Shawn Morcho in 2022, and we're still fighting today.
We're not going to tolerate those complacent to the institutional violence against our communities. We encourage everyone to go back to 2020. Go watch the footage from the Vine Street Expressway on June 1st 2020.
Remember that we have fought and won in worse conditions and we will win again. However, only together, fearlessly resisting the re-institutionalizing of racism and far right extremism.
Those days founded our organization. We will not be ruled by fear or return to complacency.
As we chanted 5 years ago. "Upper Darby, wake up!"
It's up to us to look out for us.
So join us on May 25th, 2025 for a peaceful protest in the spirit and memory of George Floyd at the front plaza at the Upper Darby Township Building, 100 Garrett Rd, Upper Darby, PA 19082 at 1pm.
More details coming soon.
