Hosted: Take Em Down Nola
Though the elected officials for the City of New Orleans continue to find ways to make excuses or prolong progress, the people are rising up, and doing what’s necessary to move us forward.
This ACTION will speak directly to that forward movement.
We will engage in physical distancing and mask wearing to support communal health.
There will be a rally and march to Jackson Square.
FINISH THE JOB! Release a timeline for the immediate removal of ALL remaining symbols to white supremacy including street names, school and public property. Remove the remaining 10 monuments NOW!
Follow a community driven process for the removal of the monuments and the choosing of their replacements. (Honor the actual grassroots movement that has been spearheading this conversation for years and let us lead in the renaming process.)
Enact Take Em Down NOLA’s ordinance NOW. Expand the definition from confederate monuments to ALL symbols to white supremacy.
Abolish the police! Start with flipping the budget! Defund the police and fund the people!
