A Human Chain Against Violence

Dear Source:

To everybody who is as shattered and devastated by the recent violence in our beautiful Virgin Islands!
Yesterday evening a small group of friends got together and being concerned about the recent violence we spontaneously decided to create a human chain from Christiansted to Frederiksted. Our motto: “All of We Are More Den Dem.” The plan is on Sunday, Aug 9th to start at 2 pm in Christiansted at the Government house and in Frederiksted at the Fort. We imagine the chain going from Christiansted along Company Street going towards Pueblo at Golden Rock, from there passing Basin Triangle until La Reine and then connecting along Centerline Road. From Frederiksted going Strand Street then along the street going to the Post office, up the road towards Centerline road. We imagine the human chain to connect at Centerline road at 4 p.m.

Let’s do it and show our strength that: “All of We Are More Den Dem.” Please join from wherever is the closest point of your home and hold hands.
Let’s create that human chain of peace and love.
