To pay respect to those whose lives have been affected by police brutality cities cross the nation are holding peaceful vigils. Participants will gather on August 14, 2014 at 7 p.m. EST/4 p.m. PT. A moment of silence will start at 7:20 p.m. and 4:20 p.m.
To identify each other and show solidarity, everyone is asked to wear a red ribbon/cloth/bandana on your right arm at the vigils. Do not wear red in areas where doing so can cause conflict.
