on Behalf of SHOW ME NO HATE
DECEMBER 4th ANTI-Violence VIGIL
@ Manchester Grove Neighborhood
JOIN THE ST. LOUIS COMMUNITY AGAINST ALL VIOLENCE
Following the recent news of violence against three members of our community, many people are left angry, sad and even motivated to come together.
“If I turned around every time somebody called me a faggot, I’d be walking backward – and I don’t want to walk backward.” - Harvey Milk
Violence happens everyday to women, African-Americans, Latinos, Jews, transgendered, children, disabled, senior citizens, Natives, Muslims, homeless, Christians, gays, lesbians and many others who suffer at the hands of an abuser.
On Tuesday December 1st, 2009 several community organizers led by Bert Coleman, came together to organize a united St. Louis answer to violence and hate. In our efforts to mobilize and respond quickly, we are encouraging you at the very least join our candlelight Vigil, March and Rally along Manchester Avenue.
