Central Area Community Festival Information Table

Do you think black lives matter? Are you tired of the never ending cycle of gun violence/denial/inaction? Think America should stop being the world’s largest arms dealer?

Then stop by Garfield Community Center this Saturday between 11:00-5:00. Amnesty International will have an info table at the Central Area Community Festival where you can sign petitions about these issues and more. We’ll be indoors so you won’t have to stand in the hot sun.

And afterward you can enjoy great food and maybe even dance a little bit.
