Bozeman National Day of Action for Black Lives

Last Sunday, 1,500 Bozemanites rallied for Black lives. We sang, chanted, and made our grief, rage and hope for a better future public. We imagined a Bozeman where Black, Brown, and Indigenous people live free from police violence -- where all of us are free.
Last Sunday was just the beginning. This Friday, June 5th, thousands of Bozemanites will join millions participating in a National Day of Action for Black Lives across the country. America is not free until every black person can jog, sleep and breathe free. Montana is not free until every black person can jog, sleep and breathe free.
Montana is not free until black lives matter.
Our Demands:
1. Freedom from Police, Invest in Us
2. Support Black/Native Bozeman
3. Bozeman Businesses engage in Education/Training on anti-racism/anti-oppression
Details/logistics: (masks and social distancing required)
1. Action Training Thursday, June 4th @5:30PM at Bozeman Pond
2. Rally Friday, June 5th @4PM at Bogert Park

COVID-19 is still circulating in our community and across the world. In an effort to be as safe as possible, masks are REQUIRED to participate and social distancing will be encouraged when possible. If you do not have access to a mask we will do our best to provide you with one. If you are sick, caring for someone who is sick, awaiting results of a COVID-19 test, or have any of the symptoms of COVID-19, we ask that you stay home.
Please keep in mind that BIPOC are susceptible to COVID-19 at higher rates than the majority white population. If you support Black lives in Bozeman please wear a mask to ensure those at high-risk stay safe.
This demonstration is organized by:
Bozeman United for Racial Justice
Montana State University Black Student Union (MSU BSU)
Montana Racial Equity Project (MTREP)
