A Spokane Vigil because BLACK LIVES MATTER.

Saturday, July 9, 2016, from 12:00 – 1:00 PM

Spokane County Courthouse – Downtown Spokane (Broadway and Monroe)

Join the NAACP, YWCA, Musicians Union, Peace & Justice Action League of Spokane, Sierra Club, Center for Justice, Greater Spokane Progress, Spokane Socialist Alternative, other community organizations and PEOPLE LIKE YOU!

We are coming together for this vigil to share our grief and anger about the deaths of Alton Sterling of Louisiana and Philondo Castile of Minnesota at the hands of police, as well as the deaths of five police officers in Dallas, and to demonstrate our commitment to acting together to expose and transform a racist criminal justice system.

You are invited to bring your families and friends to be part of this a powerful coming together to demonstrate our shared grief, anger, and deep valuing of Black Lives!!!! and to give folks in our communities a chance to connect with each other as well as to learn how THEY can be part of campaigns like the local police accountability & oversight organizing, the statewide John T. Williams Initiative 873 to change WA’s deadly force law, efforts to end the school-to-prison pipeline, AND MORE.

Let us mourn together and ORGANIZE together, bringing people together around shared needs & values, with ways to experience and assert OUR OWN SHARED POWER, and push to change policies while changing the balance of power in our communities and society.

Freedom Under Fire

 20151107_006466A

November 7, 2015 the Spokane NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet “Freedom Under Fire” was held at the Northern Quest Resort & Casino. It was attended by over 300 guests. The speaker was HIlary O. Shelton, Director to the NAACP Washington Bureau. For more information about the event see the December issue of the Black Lens News.

A selection of the attendees were photographed. Look for your photo on the page 2015 Freedom Fund Banquet Photos. If I have taken your picture, help us raise funds for the Spokane NAACP Lieutenant Colonel Michael P. Anderson Scholarship Fund.  If you purchase a Fine Art Original print I will donate 20% of the purchase price to the Scholarship Fund .

I have taken what appear to be snapshots at the Freedom Fund Banquet and will transform them into works of art. You probably saw examples of my work on display at the banquet. To refresh your memory you can go to the page From Pictorial Snapshot to Fine Art where you can see selections of the fine art. For purchase options go to the page Your Photo Has Been Taken Turn It Into a Work of Art.
