In 2016, Black Feminist Future led a call to action to Defend Black Womanhood in response to police murders of Black cis and trans women and girls. Twenty six community altars were built across the country to honor our dead and commit to fighting for the living. In 2020, BFF has raised the call as a part of The Movement for Black Lives In Defense of Black Life Week of Action June 1st- June 5th, to participate in community altar building across the country, identifying Thursday, June 4th as a day of action.

On Thursday, beginning at 10am, CLPP staff will build a community altar at the base of the Resilience Mural on FPH to honor the lives of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many other Black Americans killed by the police. We invite members of the community to participate by adding messages and other items to the altar. Because we are living during a COVID pandemic that is threatening the health and wellness of Black people, in order for our community to be safe we ask that all participants:

●    Follow campus guidelines on doing a symptom self-check before leaving home ●    Wear a mask  ●    Practice physical distancing  ●    Have gloves and/or hand sanitizer   ●    Bring your own writing instruments and other materials  ●    If you are not feeling well, please do not attend!
