Black Lives Matter is coming to SunRail

This Friday afternoon (7/10) high school students will use SunRail for a Black Lives Matter march. They will begin at the Meadow Woods SunRail station in south Orange County -- less than a mile from Cypress Creek High School. After a rally and speeches at the train station, they plan to board a northbound SunRail train and ride to downtown Orlando. They will get off at Church Street station and march around the corner to Orlando City Hall for a rally with other activists. Then they will march to Orlando Police headquarters, which is about a mile from City Hall. Marchers will return to the SunRail station at Church Street for the ride back to Meadow Woods at 3:50 p.m. BLM protests have been held in Orlando for more than a month and they’ve been overwhelmingly peaceful. SunRail provides an excellent way for students from all over Central Florida – from Poinciana to DeBary -- to join the movement that is being organized by the Cypress Creek High School chap
