Description: On a weekend in early June, hundreds of protesters marched through the rainy streets of Aspen to call attention to systematic racism and police violence in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis. The protest was organized by Aspen Santa Fe Ballet dancer, Jenelle Figgins, along with local resident Sájari Simmons . Together they co-founded the racial justice organization, Roaring Fork Show Up in June. The advocacy group works to dismantle systems of racism and oppression through demonstrations, education and virtual events in the Roaring Fork Valley.
