In the fist two days of this week, there was looting and vandalism at a site for protesting and rallying at 21st and Arkansas Street. On Wednesday, I attended a rally at that place and interviewed Sarahi Aguilera, of the Immigrant justice organization, a part of Sunflower Action. She insisted that change is needed and her fellow protesters and organizers need to be affective.
“Need to be corrective and affective,” she said.
“We can protest all we want, until we can get out and vote.”
She told me that she and here fellow people attending the rally were concerned about the oppression in this country. She told me this community lacks resources.
“It’s amazing to see groups come together in solidarity,” Aguilera said.
All across the country there have been protest in favor of the Black Lives Matter in response to the murder of George Floyd.
Many of these protests have been peaceful, others have been violent and the reaction from the cops, have at times, also been violent.
At right, Sarahi Aguilera. Below are people who came to rally at 21st and Arkansas.
