6:00 p.m., Place de la République, Paris 10e.

As George Floyd’s funeral is begining, thousands of people are gathered in solidarity in response to the call of SOS Racism.

“The funeral of George Floyd, murdered on May 25 in Minneapolis by a police officer, will take place this Tuesday, June 9 at 6 p.m. Paris time. SOS Racism calls for a rally, Place de la République in Paris, at 6 p.m., so that a solemn tribute is paid to the memory of the latter on this day of meditation. We support the marches and demonstrations currently taking place in the USA, in France and elsewhere in favor of civil rights and against racist hatred ”.
