Justice for Alton

Friday, July 8
4 – 7 p.m.
Soldiers Memorial Park Downtown St. Louis, 63103

In support of our fallen brother, Alton Sterling. We will show those mourning in Baton Rouge, and those investigating this senseless crime, that we are watching.

We will join Louisiana Black Lives Matter organizers in demanding the resignation of Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, and demand a repeal of the “Blue Lives Matter,” legislation. Legislation protecting police from charges of hate crimes is unconstitutional, and will not be tolerated.
