On October 10th we will peacefully march and protest the police brutality and corrupted system that has been in place for so long. Jacob Blakes attempted murder just shows us how much they are listening so we need to be louder. We will be feeding the homeless and handing out Fetnayl test kits along what is known as “Methadone Mile”. Chefs and sponsors will be donating their time along with help from different activist organizations. To-go meal drop off locations for homeless or less fortunate will be located on Mass Ave along the march and the Boston Commons.
We will meet at the South Bay Center parking lot (exact location TBD) and will be practicing social distancing throughout the whole day. Free masks will be available. Meet at 3:30pm. Begin marching at 4:30.
We will have “blessed bags” to hand out that consist of: snacks, masks, water, toiletries, first aid kits, etc***
Please consider bringing your own version of a “blessed bag” and even if you don’t hand it out, can always keep it in your car/bag!
