#PHILLYDEFENDERS MARCH FOR BLACK LIVES
WHEN: Monday, June 8, 3 PM
WHERE: CONSTITUTION CENTER, 525 Arch Street

On Monday, June 8 at 3:00 p.m., #PhillyDefenders are joining a coalition of public defenders who will be marching in cities across the nation to protest the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and Ahmaud Arbery, and the systemic injustices faced by Black and Brown communities.

THE ROUTE:

In Philly, our march will follow the tumultuous, painful journey too many of our clients endure when they encounter our justice system:

We will meet at the Constitution Center, 525 Arch Street at 3:00 p.m. From there, our march will proceed along the following route, making stops at:

  1. the Roundhouse at 8th and Race;
  2. ICE detention on North 8th Street;
  3. Federal Detention Center;
  4. Federal Courthouse;
  5. Family Court; and end at
  6. the CJC, where we take a knee for 8 minutes 46 seconds

All are welcome to join us! REMEMBER: WE ARE STILL IN A COVID-19 PANDEMIC… PLEASE #WearAMask and #socialdistance whenever possible
