Des Moines Black Liberation Movement (Black Lives Matter) is organizing a protest for Saturday evening (June 5) with the tagline “Take it to the streets & f*ck the police.”
The location of the protest isn’t going to drop until 3 p.m. Saturday.
There are very few details or other descriptions. The event is billed as “School is back in session.”
“DSM BLM: Summer School Kickoff”
You can see some of the common taglines:
“No Justice, No Peace”
“Fuck 12”
“Abolish the Police”
Also notice, despite Des Moines removing its mask mandate, the event is still requiring attendees to wear masks.
