Yonkers Say Their Names Vigil

Yonkers, NY – The Yonkers community has been gathering in
Unity and solidarity since the tragic murder of George Floyd over 4 years ago. We have been standing up consistently on Mondays since May 2020 to honor the victims of racial injustice and police violence. As part of our ongoing commitment to racial justice and equity, we invite the community to JOIN US ON JUNE 17 TH for a powerful vigil to SAY THE NAMES of some of those killed and to stand together against police violence.

 

The vigil will feature local leaders and activists who will come
together to reaffirm our stance that no one is above the law. We
need accountability for police who violate their oath to protect.
Our goal is to foster a safe, inclusive space where voices can be
heard and where we can collectively demand justice and systemic
change.

JOIN US as we:

police violence!

“Silence can never be our response to injustice – we
must continue to ‘Say Their Names’”.
