June 8, 2020 – 3:00 PM:
Defenders March for Black Lives
ABOUT THE MARCH
On Monday, June 8 at 3:00 p.m., The Defender Association of Philadelphia is joining a nationwide coalition of public defenders who will be marching 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:
Here in Philly, our march will follow the tumultuous, painful journey too many of our clients endure when they encounter our justice system:
- the Roundhouse at 8th and Race;
- ICE detention on North 8th Street;
- Federal Detention Center;
- Family Court; and
- end at the CJC where we take a knee for 8 minutes 46 seconds
