Organizers of a Pride celebration in Woonsocket are now planning a protest instead on Monday night, after they said Woonsocket Mayor Lisa Baldelli Hunt deliberately scheduled a conflicting event at the location.
Pride organizers said they tried to organize an event earlier in month for June 28 at River Island Park but were told by the city they could not use that location due to construction, and despite paying an application fee, never made the city council docket.
On Monday, the Black Lives Matter RI PAC issued a statement in support of the Pride protest now scheduled for Monday night.
