Coming Together in Marin City, California for Racial Justice
June 2, 2020
Sitting a short distance north of the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County, Marin City is home to the most African American residents in the county. On Tuesday, people from all over the county poured into Marin City to stand together for Racial Justice.
To give some context for the days' rally and march, here is a quote from an email sent out earlier in the day from SURJ (Showing Up For Racial Justice) Marin:
"SURJ Marin strongly objects to the narratives from Next Door and other social media platforms, warning of violence in today’s action in Marin City. This peaceful protest is being organized by young women of color as a way to honor those who have died as a result of police brutality. There have been peaceful protests all over the county this weekend, from Fairfax to Sausalito. The idea that a protest based in Marin City- which has more African American residents than any other locality in Marin- will be violent, and that there is a need for police escalation, is yet another effort to criminalize our Black neighbors and friends. We say- stand down, or better yet, join this peaceful protest in solidarity. Show up in support of the Marin City community."
