What has the community response been in Flint to George Floyd’s murder by police?

​

Protests and community organizing for social change are not new to our community. Flint is used to fighting for justice on environmental, social and economic justice fronts. We organize, we protest, we inspire! 

 

We are pushing the envelope for community change that embraces an anti-racist agenda. Supporting and expanding the existing Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) work happening in Flint - to eliminate racism through building relationships and systemic policy change - holds great promise for Flint’s next steps.

 

• “Marchers in Flint push for end to police brutality as protests reach third day” (MLive)

 

• “Flint emerges as a symbol of peace and unity amid protests and turmoil” (MLive)

 

• “Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation” (Community Foundation of Greater Flint)

 

• “Mayor Neeley creates Black Lives Matter Advisory Council for Flint Police Department, announces other city actions” (City of Flint)

 

• “Genesee County Board of Health declares racism a public health crisis” (MLive)
