Tyler resident Ambra Phillips is organizing what she terms a peaceful rally, scheduled for this afternoon at 4:30. Phillips is working with a new group known as Tyler United. She says the rally will begin at Front & North Broadway, with a march up Broadway to the downtown square. According to Phillips, activities on the square will include a short program and a candlelight vigil to promote peace. Participants may join the group on the square if they don’t wish to take part in the march.

Saying that “all lives matter,” Phillips adds, “This march hopefully will include a rainbow of people who believe in equal justice for all!” Information being distributed about the event says, “All peace lovers welcomed,” and Phillips reports strong support from community leaders.
