Black Lives Matter Day - Call For Submissions

Dear Arlington friends and neighbors,

Arlington affirms, unequivocally, Black lives matter.

As we protest, and have important community conversations around race, we recognize joy is also an act of resistance. Join us in celebrating our diversity with a virtual event on Black Lives Matter Day, July 13, 2020.
