The community is invited to gather for our second Speak Our Truth Project Rally: Youth Voices for Justice on Saturday, March 15, 2025, from 12:00 pm-4:00 pm at Tolson Center for Community Excellence (1320 Benham Ave. Elkhart, IN 46516). Rio’s Rainbow alongside several local grassroots organizations for child safety and human rights have partnered to co-host this significant gathering to honor the three-year anniversary of the passing of Rio Allred and all the children and individuals lost to suicide, systemic abuse, and violence. Social problems require a united social movement of people from every background, beyond race, social or political status, and religion. This is a family friendly event of community empowerment, truth-telling, and solidarity.
This gathering will have a dynamic line-up of youth and young adult speakers and performers (ages 12-24yrs old) called to share their stories and talents in our mission for change and justice within child safety and human rights in Indiana; followed by a Community Advocate Q&A Panel of local advocates to answer and engage youth and community questions surrounding our movement and current legislative efforts for child safety and human rights in our state. Spanish translation will also be provided.
In addition, we will have a Speak Your Truth Booth for individuals called to share their own stories, free family fun basket raffle giveaways, music by DJ Certified Grind, dancing, crafts by Parks & Rec., family games (VR tickets for the first 30 youth), bounce house, inflatable basketball, football, & axe throwing, free face painting and henna tattoos, youth yoga, community resource providers, and lunch will be provided from 12:00 pm-1:00pm. (The first 100 adults/families will also receive a donated box of food from Church Community Services, if interested).

Se invita a la comunidad a reunirse para nuestro segundo mitin del proyecto Speak Our Truth: Youth Voices for Justice el sábado 15 de marzo de 2025, de 12:00 p.m. a 4:00 p.m. en el Centro Tolson para la Excelencia Comunitaria (1320 Benham Ave. Elkhart, IN 46516). Rio's Rainbow, junto con varias organizaciones locales de base para la seguridad infantil y los derechos humanos, se han asociado para organizar esta importante reunión para honrar el tercer aniversario del fallecimiento de Rio Allred y de todos los niños e individuos perdidos por suicidio, abuso sistémico y violencia. Los problemas sociales requieren un movimiento social unido de personas de todos los orígenes, más allá de la raza, el estatus social o político y la religión. Este es un evento familiar de empoderamiento comunitario, decir la verdad y solidaridad.
Esta reunión contará con una alineación dinámica de oradores y artistas jóvenes y adultos jóvenes (de 12 a 24 años) llamados a compartir sus historias y talentos en nuestra misión de cambio y justicia dentro de la seguridad infantil y los derechos humanos en Indiana; seguido de un panel de preguntas y respuestas de defensores de la comunidad para responder e involucrar a las preguntas de los jóvenes y la comunidad en torno a nuestro movimiento y los esfuerzos legislativos actuales para la seguridad infantil y los derechos humanos en nuestro estado. También se proporcionará traducción al español.
Además, tendremos un stand de Speak Your Truth para personas llamadas a compartir sus propias historias, rifas gratuitas de canastas divertidas para toda la familia, música de DJ Certified Grind, bailes, manualidades de Parks & Rec., juegos familiares (boletos de realidad virtual para los primeros 30 jóvenes), casa inflable, baloncesto inflable, fútbol americano y lanzamiento de hachas, pintura facial y tatuajes de henna gratuitos, yoga para jóvenes, proveedores de recursos comunitarios y almuerzo de 12:00 p. m. a 1:00 p. m. (Los primeros 100 adultos/familias también recibirán una caja de alimentos donada por Church Community Services, si están interesados).
