We join together to commit to dismantle racism in all its forms and to be in solidarity with Black Lives in our communities and across the country. On August 29, Presbytery of San Francisco will host a Car-a-Van. We will gather in our automobiles in
2 locations–on the West Bay @ 1st Presbyterian Church San Mateo and in the East Bay @ Presbytery of SF Offices in El Cerrito– and drive through the streets in support of Black Lives.
