(La Porte, IN) - A demonstration supporting racial equality and police reform is scheduled  in downtown La Porte tomorrow.  The organizer of the event, Taylor Patz, said demonstrators at some point will march across the U.S 35 overpass like Black Lives Matter supporters did three months ago.

A few weeks ago, Patz says he held up a Black Lives Matter sign by himself outside the La Porte courthouse and was the target of racism he wishes no longer existed.  “People were flipping me off. People were dropping the “N word” at me saying what about white people. I’m white.  I care about white people, of course, but I care about black people and I’m tired of seeing my brothers and sister mistreated,” the La Porte man said.

The demonstration Saturday will start outside the courthouse at noon and is scheduled to run until 3 p.m.
