Friday, August 3 at 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM CDT
Curris Center
102 Curris Center, Murray, Kentucky
"Details
Not even 6 months after a deadly shooting at Marshall County High School, Marshall County Republicans have invited Oliver North to come speak at an event the night before Fancy Farm. We believe this is a grave error in judgement on their part, and will not let his visit go unanswered.
Join our student activists from Marshall County High School, Murray High School, and Calloway County High School in saying NO to Oliver North and NO to NRA influence in our political process. We will be gathering outside the event venue for a peaceful demonstration.
We have been granted a free speech zone at The Curris Center. We are going to rally and have speakers there from 4-6 pm.
After, there will be a five minute march to Lovett Auditorium, the event venue, where we will hold a silent vigil in remembrance of the thousands who die by gun violence and unsecured firearms each year in America from 6:15-7:30. (Feel free to include signs with your own feelings on gun related issues) North Speaks at 7 pm.
Tentative list of speakers:
The DaSilva Family will be telling their personal story. Akilah DaSilva was tragically murdered during the Waffle House shooting in Antioch, TN and this family is committed to justice. Shaundelle Bess Brooks Abede Dasilva Alexa DaSilva
Hollan Holm is a survivor of The Heath
High School shooting that took place in 1997 and will be sharing his experience, how he's been effected, and his thoughts to moving forward.
