Thank you so much to everyone who joined us on August 15 for Miner’s March for Black Lives Matter.  The turnout was amazing and we are so grateful to the support we received from our community!

None of this would have been possible without the hard work of Latoya McCarthy-Scott and the Equity Team’s Solidarity Committee.  They organized a great event for families and even provided supplies to make some of the amazing signs and banners.  And somehow they even arranged for the rain to hold off until the very end!  Attached are some photos of the march.  Thanks to all who participated!
