The public is invited to join a Pro-Democracy March on St. Thomas on Saturday from 11 a.m. till noon. Marchers will gather on the waterfront in Charlotte Amalie directly across from the Windward Passage Hotel and march east to the promenade across from the Territorial Court.
“We believe in peaceful, non-violent, positive actions in support of all of our citizens’ rights,” said Jane Higgins, the event organizer, “and our goal is to stand up for our rights.”
The march is one event in an ongoing series of protests throughout the country and around the world organized by the Indivisible movement. For further information, follow this link https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/820063/.
A core principle of the movement is non-violence. Participants are expected to de-escalate any situations with others who disagree with their beliefs. Higgins has organized two other marches, both of which have been small but enthusiastic and peaceful.
For this event, marchers will gather near the fruit stand on the waterfront to avoid the armed police presence at the Blyden ferry terminal, an international checkpoint.
