Nashville What
Red, Black, and Blue
The Teens4Equality are organizing a protest for July 4th. If you don’t buy the shirt, you can wear red, black, or blue. Starting at 4pm in the Bicentennial Mall State Park, the route will wind through downtown with a stop in front of the Capitol aka @peoplesplazatn. It is a protest against racism, not just police brutality, and every form of it. The protest will return to the starting point where there will be voter registration opportunities, food trucks, and a final word.
