Black Lives Matter Rally

Central Oregon Diversity Project will be standing in protest and representing BLM, Breonna Taylor, Pride, Police Corruption (especially here in C.O), and all that our group represents.

Most importantly, we will be standing in Solidarity with our friends, our neighbors, and victims whom has been harassed and threatened by many in the community. As well as dismissed and targeted by the Prineville Police Department!

We will be meeting at Peace Corner in front of the Bank of America, on the corner of Wall St. and Newport Ave. starting at 3:30 pm. We will be conducting a PEACEFUL rally as we DO NOT promote violence regardless of what others may say.

If you plan to instigate or start any problems please stay home!

We ask everyone to practice safe social distancing laws and to please wear masks so we can keep everyone safe.

Water and snacks will be provided throughout the event.

Thank you for understanding!

“Dear (insert city manager, mayor, council member name),

I am a resident of Prineville (insert another alternative concerned local citizen) and I am requesting the immediate removal of Police Chief Dale Cummins.

On June 13th, 2020 Police Chief Dale Cummins, of the Prineville Police Department used the department’s social media account to attack and defame the character of a woman of color. His carelessness and abuse of power put this family in further danger from threats of violence.

Police protect and serve all.

He has proven he is unable to do his job. Clearly breaking his oath of office and the code of ethics he was sworn to uphold.

Sincerely,
(Insert your name)
(Insert your contact information)”
