Shape the Culture, a digital platform that focuses on highlighting the good work young individuals are doing to impact and move the country forward, will host a “Be the Change Unity Rally” on Sunday, June 21 at Kelly Ingram Park located in downtown Birmingham.
This peaceful rally will bring together young people from across the Birmingham area to use their collective voices to take a stand against racism, injustice, and inequity.
The rally is being led by young activists from the Birmingham area and will begin at 3 p.m.
“With everything going on now — racial injustice, brutal treatment of African Americans by law enforcement, the way that COVID-19 is disproportionately impacting people of color — no one is really concentrating on how these issues are affecting young people,” said Jordyn Hudson, a rising senior at Indian Springs School and founder of Shape the Culture.
“Young people played a pivotal role in the historic Civil Rights Movement that took place on the downtown streets of Birmingham.
Shape the Culture was founded to showcase the good work young people are doing in their communities across America.
