Protests continue around the Miami Valley

Protesters with Miami Valley Abolitionists who gathered Sunday said they planned to continue to have weekly protests downtown.

Other demonstrations this week include a peaceful commemoration planned for John Crawford at the Beavercreek Walmart 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Aug. 5 on the six-year anniversary of when he was shot by a police officer at Walmart.

The Solutions Movement is holding a “Community Talkback” town hall-style event at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 6 at Courthouse Square to share how the group is involved in the community and provide attendees with the tools to get involved in the change.
