Join Us in our support of SURJ Buffalo for car rally on Saturday, January 23 at 2 pm that will begin in the parking lot of Burchfield Penney (1300 Elmwood Ave. in Buffalo.)
This is an opportunity to engage and promote a message that we hope that will resonate to you all: the people of Western New York want to end the longstanding silence about white supremacy in this country. The primary goal is to unite people together and support the community and multiracial democracy.
The rally will take a short trip through the Elmwood area and end by 3pm. Further details will be provided at the beginning. There will be extra signs available that you can secure to your vehicle but if you want to make your own, you are more than welcome to do so.
Gentle reminder, be safe and be considerate to others. In order to keep this event COVOD-19 safe, please be mindful of having one household or “pod” per vehicle. It is also important to follow traffic laws throughout the event.
Promote this safe event with your friends, family, and members of social justice groups you belong to.
