THIS WEEK
Event Information
In Defense of Black Bodies #PhillyDIEin
In light of the absolute injustice that was the decision to not indict Darren Wilson, in solidarity with our brother and sisters in Ferguson, and in opposition to the ongoing genocide perpetuated against Black people in the United States, In Defense of Black Bodies will be holding a die-in protest inside 30th Street Station.
We ask that people arrive at 30th Street Station between 3:45 - 4 pm and mill around as if there for regular purposes. As it approaches 4:15 we will begin to gather in the Main Concourse (INSIDE THE STATION in the main corridor by the wooden benches/Amtrak.)
At 4:15, we will drop to the ground.
*We ask that non-Black POC and white allies sit in solidarity during this time but not lay down as the dead.*
We will "die" for 4 minutes and 30 seconds, to honor Mike brown, and recognize the 4 hours and 30 minutes his body was left on the ground.
After the die-in, we will be marching from 30th Street Station to City Hall.
Please bring signs, friends, family, and any other form of support. We are trying to disrupt the flow of traffic in the station and downtown, and make our voices heard.
SHARE THIS EVENT. INVITE YOUR FRIENDS. MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD.
