Despite being organized in response to an anticipated “White Lives Matter” march, an anti-racism rally in Wilmot Township saw no opposition on Saturday.
WILMOT TOWNSHIP Multiple rallies are planned in Wilmot Township this weekend despite the stay-at-home order and pandemic restrictions. An anti-racism rally was organized after posters advertising a White Lives Matter march were discovered in the community. The poster proclaiming “White Lives Matter” has sparked anger and outrage. “How are the decision makers and community leaders allowing this?” said Aashay Dalvi, the media coordinator for the Wilmot anti-racist rally. “Who is distributing these posters and where are they even being printed?” “We don’t want our community to be associated with racism, but it’s really difficult to explain why this is happening right now,” said Sandy Jackson, acting Chief Administrative Officer of Wilmot Township.
