Occupy Elgin celebrated Juneteenth on Saturday, June 20th. We registered our event on the SixNineteen website. Twenty People participated, wearing masks and standing, carefully apart to observe social distancing. Here are a few photos from that day.
Please join us on Saturday, June 20th from 1 PM till 2 PM at the corner of Kimball and Grove Street in Elgin. We will wear masks and we will stand at least 6 feet apart for social distancing. But we will be passionate in our celebration of Juneteenth, the festival that commemorates the end of slavery in 1865. We stand in support of the Movement for Black Lives. We call for the Defense of Black Lives, for De-funding the Police*, and we call upon Donald Trump to resign the presidency.
