They also marched to Redding, CA City Hall, made announcements and sang songs as part of a Global March for Peace and Unity organized by Shasta County Citizens Advocating Respect (SCCAR).
Among the participants was a high school exchange student from Yemen who recounted an incidence of racism and profiling on September 19th at a gas station on Eureka Way near Shasta High. Members of A Beloved Community were moved to write letters to the owner of the business asking for an apology.
The next gatherings will be at Redding Public Library on 1st and 3rd Wednesdays at 6:30 PM and also on the following Thursdays at 1:30 PM, for those who cannot make the Wednesday evening meeting. That's Oct. 2 or 3 and Oct. 16 or 17, 2013 for your calendars.
