WOODSTOCK - A Black Lives Matter protest is happening in Woodstock today at Victoria Park.
People will be at the park between noon and 3:00 pm.
The event is being organized by Jessica Hofstetter, who says this is a peaceful protest.
"Please keep in mind that this is a peaceful protest, by no means should this event be taken out of control as that is NOT the goal! This protest is to help raise awareness of the lives lost due to police brutality and to show our solidarity as a community!"
The health and safety of everyone at the event is also at the forefront of the plans. Anyone who plans on attending are asked to do the following:
- Please bring your ID or any other identification you may have.
- Plan ahead and bring water and any essentials you may need while protesting. This can include; snacks, a first aid kit and other needs.
- Please maintain a safe physical distance of 6ft (2mm) and protest in groups of 5 or less!
- And as previously said, masks are recommended but it is up to your discretion if you choose to wear one!
- Lastly, posters and signs are most definitely okay! Get creative and show your support through your illustrations!
