The city of Salem bans 4th of July celebrations, allows Black Lives Matter event
|
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The city of Salem, Oregon has given the go-ahead for a large Black Lives Matter gathering to be held today but canceled a 4th of July fireworks celebration over health concerns relating to the spread of COVID-19.
In a notice posted on the city’s official facebook page, the city of Salem stated that it would be allowing a Black Lives Matter "Solidarity Rally" to take place beginning at 11am, local time.
"A portion of Court Street will be closed as a result," reads the statement. "The event, coordinated by Salem Community Organizers, is expected to draw up to 1,000 people. They plan to gather on the State Capitol steps and begin with speakers and performances at noon. The group does not plan to march on city streets and has reserved the State Capitol steps and Capitol Mall through Oregon Legislative staff and Oregon State Parks respectively."
During the march, vehicles are prohibited from driving through the venue for most of the day until the protest ends at 5pm.
