The People’s Organization for Progress (POP) is planning to gather Saturday, May 30 in Newark to protest the killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis who had earlier arrested him for forgery.

POP, which was formed to eradicate racism and take on relevant social issues, will protest beginning at 1 p.m. at the Lincoln statue, located at West Market Street and Springfield Avenue. Protesters are asked to arrive by 12:45 p.m.

Everyone who participates in Saturday’s protest is asked to wear a face mask, gloves and to practice social distancing.
