Co-sponsored by: Justice First, Stop Police Terror Project DC, Sanctuary DMV, People Power Action, Answer Coalition, Luqman Nation, The Will Merrifield Campaign, LinkUp, U.S. Labor Against the War, and Students Against Imperialism at GW

On Monday, June 1 at 6:28 p.m. outside the White House, multiple police agencies unleashed a violent assault against a peaceful protest demanding justice for George Floyd. People were shot with stinger grenades, rubber bullets, pepper sprayed and gassed so that Trump could hold a photo op holding a bible on the north side of Lafayette Park. This was a criminal assault against the people. The Pentagon and D.C. police acted as Trump’s accomplices.

We will fill the streets on Monday, June 15, at 6:28 p.m., exactly two weeks to the minute after Trump ordered the violent assault. Those officials who helped Trump carry out this attack should be fired and criminally prosecuted.

The movement against the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and so many others is now a nationwide revolt demanding far-reaching reforms.

On Monday, June 15, at 6:28 p.m., we're coming back to the White House to demand that there is a stop to the war on Black America. This is a revolt against racism! We're going to reclaim the streets. We're going to stop the war on free speech and dissent.
