June 13, reading - Sit Down Protest in Honour of George Floyd & Black Lives Matter

Seeing everything that has been happening around us not just these last few months (Ahmaud Aubrey, Breonna Taylor), but for 100s of years, black people have been unfairly treated, ostracised, abused, and murdered.

The murder of #GeorgeFloyd has sparked an uproar across the globe, and there’s no better time to take a stand against racism and inequality than now.
We as people are limited in what we CAN do to stop these injustices. Unfair but true. However what we CAN do to make a change is to make as much noise as possible every time we see these crimes being committed against black people. The more of us that take a stand, the more chance we have of bringing light to the issue, & wiping out this problem for our future generations.

On Saturday the 13th of June, I would like you to join me in Forbury Gardens, Reading, to do a peaceful sit down protest in honour of George Floyd, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and all the victims that came before George. We don’t have to look far back into our memories to be reminded of at least one other - if not more - innocent black people that have had to suffer.
