The Detroit chapter of Black Lives Matter and BYP100 (Black Youth Project) are holding a march and rally for Aiyana Jones on what would have been her 14th birthday on Wednesday, July 20. Â
Not only were charges dropped against the officer who killed her, Joseph Weekley, he is now the co-lead of the Committee on Race & Equality in Detroit. If that doesn’t sit well with you, join the protest at Pallister Park, located at the intersection of Second and Pallister in Detroit, at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
