In Person Socially Distanced Demonstration of Nahalat Shalom's Support for the Black Lives Movement

In Person Socially Distanced on Rio Grande Boulevard Demonstration of Nahalat Shalom's Support for the Black Lives Movement . Nahalat Shalom is sponsoring a demonstration of our congregation's support for the black lives movement, and against the systemic racism that pervades our society. We will stand along Rio Grande Boulevard, each person or family spaced approximately 100 feet apart, holding signs for passing drivers and cyclists to see. There will be cones arrayed at 100' intervals along the sidewalks of Rio Grande north and south of our synagogue. You are invited to park in our parking lot (every other parking space). You can bring your own signs, or you can pick up signs at the corner of Rio Grande and Luke that will have already been made. You will walk to a vacant cone, and stand there in support for the duration of the event, displaying your sign. We encourage you to bring signs that read "Congregation Nahalat Shalom Supports the Movement for Black Lives", or "Our Jewish Congregation Stands Against Racism", "We are Social Distancing in Solidarity with BLM", etc. Please be careful not to claim to represent the broader Jewish Community in our signs.
