THE SILENT MARCH FOR MANNY
On Sunday, February 28, 2021, at 4:00 pm you are invited to join the family of Manuel Ellis, local Pastors & churches, and social activists for THE SILENT MARCH FOR MANNY. The march will be styled after the 1917 Silent Parade in NYC. Participants will march in silence with only the steady beat of a drum to be heard along our path to the People’s Park. All March participants are asked to wear white if possible.
The March will begin in Tacoma at South 23rd Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way and conclude at the People’s Park located at South 9th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way. At the People’s Park, Communion will be served, prayer for the family will be provided, and a blessing of Peace will be spoken over the community. Participants will depart quietly after next steps are provided.
