Anti-racist protest on tap Saturday in Easthampton

“We demand that the city of Easthampton commits to more than symbolism on behalf of Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color in our city,” said the group in a release announcing Saturday’s protest.

Gitana said that, based on social media interest, she expects more than 300 people to attend. The group asks attendees to wear masks and practice social distancing. Massachusetts Jobs With Justice, and 413 Stay Woke, Stay Active are also participating in the protest.
