A former Coupeville High School student/athlete is organizing a Black Lives Matter Peaceful Protest this Saturday, June 27.
The event, planned by former Wolf soccer ace Dawson d’Almeida, begins at 10 AM at Coupeville Elementary.
The school sits in the heart of Coupeville at 6 S. Main Street.
With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, masks are required for anyone who attends.
After meeting at the elementary school, marchers will discuss why they are there, then hold a silent vigil for eight minutes and 46 seconds in memory of George Floyd, a Black man killed in police custody in Minneapolis.
Following the vigil, marchers will walk through Coupeville.
Water and some signs will be provided, though marchers can also bring their own signs.
Event organizers ask marchers to reflect beforehand on why they intend to participate, and spend time learning about the best ways to peacefully protest and be a supporter of Black Lives Matter.
