Action | CH 0150 Promulgation of regulations for public use of the Robert E. Lee Monument, Richmond, VA |

It is long since past the time for these statues to go away from Monument Avenue - to a museum site or the scrap heap, whatever is least expensive. Why continue to venerate these images of White Supremacy? They are a visual image of structural racism. They will continue to attract grafitti artists and protesters as long as they stand. Anywhere on Monument Avenue or anywhere else in a public space, our First Amendament right to protest should not be restricted by permits, or time of day.
