Virtual Forum on History, Race, and Law Enforcement happening this evening (06/19) at 5:30PM hosted on the Yonkers Voice page. This forum is in honor of Juneteenth.

Juneteenth is a holiday celebrated on 19 June to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the US. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, slaves were declared free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation.

For those unable to join the protests in person The Movement for Black Lives is hosting an online rally at 2PM Today (06/05).

"Join us for a virtual rally culminating our week of action and celebrating our collective organizing and community building.

For the last week, in every state across the country, organizers, activists, and allies took to the streets to demand justice and accountability and to defund the police and invest in building healthy and strong communities. And we’re just getting started.

There is still a lot of work to be done. We have to continue to place pressure on our elected officials to move resources from punitive systems to sustainable communities. We have to push for the resignation of President Trump, and fight for the rights, resources and dignity of black people. And we have to love and celebrate each other, too.

Freedom in our lifetime is possible. Liberation comes when we connect, organize, and show up for ourselves and our communities.

We have a duty to fight for our freedom. We have a duty to win.

Join us in defense of black lives today and forever.

To our Hastings-on-Hudson folx:

If you are looking for a way to be an active part of the resistance against police brutality and systemic racism in our country, HERE IS A WAY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. History is in the making - act now.

Not everyone in the community has access to the wealth of resources being distributed via social media. We are calling on the Hastings community to pass out flyers with critical information and resources for action.

It’s this easy:

* Sign up by street to distribute flyers in your neighborhood here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PY2jXIOhr41JAlDfz8IhLhZQeqrNCCXiiCYPZCtjAsI/edit?usp=sharing

* Print out the PDF here: (CW: Police violence, racism)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V1jGZ2t9D_rhM_bZ_GHf637FCH5IkIAn/view?usp=sharing

* Take a walk around your neighborhood and simply place a flyer in front of each door (not in mailboxes)

* Update the sign-up sheet when you’re done.

Thank you to Jackson Cadenhead, Emily Bisaga, and Anna Aubry for sharing this with us!

Sign Ups Please place flyers in front of doors instead of in mailboxes as placing them in mailboxes is illegal since the flyers are not postmarked! Thanks :) Reach out to us with any questions or concerns!,ALSO- Please mark down below what streets you are doing...some houses have reported gettin...
