Stand Up! Make the Covenant Rally
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In the wake of this week’s tragic murders of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Philando Castile in St. Paul, Minnesota; and the police officers in Dallas, Texas, the leadership and the congregants of churches within the Greater Washington area will lead the Stand Up! Make the Covenant rally. The rally will be held in remembrance of the lives lost and in solidarity with the community and law enforcement.
“The Challenge of this hour is to deal with the cognitive dissonance of our countries racial divide. We are demanding protection of black souls in the street from white bias as well as the protection of those blue souls who patrol the streets.
