Commission member Aaron (last name not specified in the meeting record) announced plans for a peaceful march against violence to the Human Rights Commission on Sept. 18, asking community members to join on Oct. 11.

Aaron said the event is meant as a witness and not a protest and that organizers intend to gather at Island Park in downtown Fargo at 11 a.m. and finish at City Hall by 1 p.m. “This is not a protest. This is a peaceful march of a witness,” Aaron said, noting organizers want to condemn shootings and violence and to invite the whole community to stand together.

Commissioners voiced support for the initiative and asked organizers to share details in the commission email list and community channels. Aaron said organizers would spread the word and asked for broad participation.
