SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, USA, September 11, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Nomad Alliance, together with the ACLU, Utah Black Lives Matter, Utah Against Police Brutality, Our Unsheltered Relatives, the Church of Protest, and others are planning a Dance for Justice celebration, in reminiscence of Megan Mohn whose dying was not too long ago dominated a murder by the Medical Examiner, brought on by a number of Salt Lake City Police officers.
Megan’s dying was not incidental. Also at fault are techniques that refuse to do extra to halt the homeless epidemic, or see a human being in psychological misery and wish, not as a subhuman menace to society, deserving extreme pressure and dying, however as somebody who wants assist, safety, and help.
The Nomad Alliance housed Megan in a micro-home for six months. We helped her get a job, which she saved throughout your entire time she lived on our property. She was steady, clear off laborious medicine, and thriving. She was housed for ten total months, homeless once more for lower than 36 hours, evicted in a single day on the dwelling the place she was petsitting, when this tragedy occurred. Had she had entry to a steady place to stay, had town listened to our pleas for a sanctioned campground and a protected place for the unhoused to be, this by no means would have occurred.
We will mourn, in dance and joyful motion, asking our leaders to do extra for the Megans of this world, but in addition each one among us who’s struggling and struggling from oppressive techniques who flip a blind eye to all our ache.
We will convene on the Utah State Capitol steps with some speeches, to maneuver collectively down State Street with DJs offering sound on cell trailers and vehicles blasting their favourite music. We will dance down to complete on the City / County Building, with extra speeches, DJ’s enjoying music and dancing.
We will sing one notice in concord, giving a voice to the unvoiced.
Thank you in your consideration.
