This Protest is being organized by a number of resilient current and former CHS students. It is not limited to only Catonsville High School students. All are welcome!

Come to out and support our Catonsville Youth for BLACK LIVES MATTER protest (while strictly social distancing)

The protest is aimed at amplifying the voices of black students at CHS and pushing for reform so that schools in Maryland can become a more welcoming and inclusive environment.

The protest will take place on June 24 at 5pm. We will meet at Catonsville Elementary (106 Bloomsbury Ave) and march at 4:30pm to the teachers lot at CHS.

We will hear poems and speeches performed by current Catonsville students.

If you decide to join, please spread the word and bring as many people as you can!

Also, remember to wear a mask and social distance for the entirety of the protest. This protest is not exclusive to Catonsville students and we welcome everyone in the county to join!

Everyone's support is extremely appreciated! However, if you would like to help us with our cause and aid us in executing a smooth, safe, peaceful protest, donations are welcome!
