Just like so many cities around the country, we are requesting permission to paint Black Lives Matter on a street (or several) in Downtown Pullman to help bring awareness to injustice and systemic racism and see the city of Pullman stand in solidarity with the people of color in our community. The project would be executed by local artists and volunteers, and allows for our community to come together in this time of needed change, reform, and healing via artistic expression. Getting approval for this would help illustrate our city’s commitment moving forward to alleviate all forms of oppression in our community.
