29 Aug 2021 Palo Alto: Solidarity Prayer Gathering
From the organizers, Multifaith Voices for Peace and Justice ( http://www.multifaithpeace.org):
"On Sunday, August 15, the Rev. Dr. Debra Murray, an African-American woman and the Senior Pastor of First United Methodist Church of Palo Alto, experienced a series of escalating hate incidents in which she was threatened because of her Black Lives Matter sign and leadership. This was among a list of other incidents directed at BLM and African-American religious leaders, community members and houses of worship in the Palo Alto area."
This event, which was held around the Rev. Murray's church, was a prayer gathering rather than a protest rally. Participants walked silently around the block that the church is in, many of them carrying signs.
