A peaceful March is being planned for Mahomet on June 8 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
What is being called “Promise March for Humanity” will be a peaceful vigil in remembrance of black lives lost, with speakers, music and a moment of silence. Organizers are also including the idea of making individual promises to spur a continued commitment to ensuring the Mahomet is a welcoming and inclusive community for all.
The group will begin in the green area next to the Village Administration Building, then march to the Mahomet Police Department. More details are to come.
Another protest that was scheduled for June 4 at 4 p.m. has been canceled as the two organizing groups have joined planning efforts.
