The Nicholas Thomas Justice Coalition has sent out an action alert to inform the community of a rally organized in the name of the unarmed, 23-year-old black father who was killed by a Smyrna policeman last month.
The Nicholas Thomas Justice Rally #TakeTheStreets will be held Sunday, May 3 at 2:30 p.m. at Jonquil Park, 2801 Park Rd., Smyrna, Ga. and is co-sponsored by #ItsBiggerThanYou. During the event, the organization will reinforce demands upon the City of Smyrna and Cobb County Government. Community members interested in stopping the murder of unarmed citizens, public safety, and community policing initiatives are urged to attend.
The group intends to put community pressure on elected officials and are mobilizing to have a safe and effective protest.
Most needed are:
Volunteer Marshals - training for Marshals will take place before the rally at two hours before the rally.
Trained Legal Observers - These are typically law students or attorneys.
Live Streamers - with their own smartphones
People who care - the more, the better!
