Bethesda Black cemetery advocates to protest at Jamie Raskin campaign event tonight


The Bethesda African Cemetery Coalition will hold a protest rally outside of a campaign event for Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin (D) tonight, February 22, 2024, at 7:00 PM at the Silver Spring Civic Building. Advocates for the desecrated Moses African Cemetery in Bethesda have been seeking Raskin's help in getting federal action on the historic gravesite, which is hidden under parking lots behind the Westwood Tower apartments. BACC President Marsha Coleman-Adebayo says that the cemetery is in Raskin's district, but that he "refuses to condemn the desecration and flooding" of the burial ground.

Those interesting in participating in tonight's protest are asked to meet up at Ben and Jerry's at 903 Ellsworth Drive in Silver Spring (across from the Civic Building) at 6:00 PM tonight. But if you can't get there that early, just head to the Civic Building at 7:00.

But at our expense! I knew there wasn't 'enough room at the [liberal] inn' to accommodate all their selfish interests. It's not just 'bad (and overreaching) policy,' it's just that we cannot afford it all.

Hey Jamie, your presser defending Hunter today was embarrassing for you and your party. Siding with AOC invoking Russia is just too funny as your party buries itself defending a Crack addicted Burisma consultant.
