Second Freedom Ride to Ferguson: Nov. 28th - Dec. 2nd

Second Freedom Ride to Ferguson

I'll be riding with a delegation of Freedom Riders in our second trip to Ferguson, MO from Nov. 28th to December 2nd to join in solidarity with the people of Ferguson who seek to transform their community and nation.

My delegation of Freedom Riders hopes to build a stronger Denver and nation together by supporting and relieving Ferguson's clergy & youth leaders, and joining with them in non-violent demonstrations.

Support the Freedom Riders

Your support is greatly needed in this Freedom Ride, please donate what you can through Colorado Gives on Anthony's give page. Make sure to specify in the comments that you'd like your contribution to be put towards the Freedom Ride to Ferguson.

$250 sponsors one Freedom Rider in their ride to support the community of Ferguson as it faces increasing pressures after the announcement not to indict Darren Wilson. Smaller donations help the Freedom Riders with much needed supplies on their ride.
