Dear Friends and Neighbors, |
|
This newsletter shares many upcoming events for Plainfield residents to enjoy! Over the past year most of these events were virtual so we could safely distance in our homes. As the vaccine program expands and we begin to safely co-mingle in person, we will continue to apprise you of events taking place locally and elsewhere.
We look forward to a full return to normalcy in the near future but until then please enjoy some of the events outlined in this week's issue.

Black Lives Matter Plaza Dedication l June 5th |
|
"To ignore evil is to become an accomplice to it" - Martin Luther King Jr
On Saturday, June 5th, the City of Plainfield hosted a dedication ceremony for the now "Black Lives Matter Plaza." The plaza, which is located in front of city hall, stands as a symbol of solidarity against the injustice committed towards the black and brown community. But more than just a symbol, it stands as a constant reminder that Plainfield believes in and will fight for equity, equality, and justice for the members of its community.
The ceremony featured remarks from Mayor Adrian O. Mapp, Lieutenant Governor Sheila Oliver, Assemblywoman Linda Carter, County Commissioner Rebecca Williams, Council President Steve Hockaday, and community activists Bill Davis and Norman Deen Muhammad. In addition, there were live performances from African dancers and drummers as well as powerful renditions of the Black national Anthem and We Shall Overcome by Ms. Sheila Epps. Local young Orator Nadirah Saleem shared words from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We once again came together as “One Plainfield” to immortalize, for posterity, the plaza in front of city hall as the “Black Lives Matter Plaza.”

June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month |
|
On June,1969, an uprising at Stonewall Inn ignited a liberation movement in which members from the LBTQ+ community inspired our Nation to follow through on their promise of equality, liberation, and justice for all. Pride is about being able to express oneself in both a visible jubilant communal celebration and on a personal celebration of self-worth and dignity.
"This Pride Month, we recognize the valuable contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals across America, and we reaffirm our commitment to standing in solidarity with LGBTQ+ Americans in their ongoing struggle against discrimination and injustice," as stated by President Biden.
