Stone, Tia Coward, 1996-

Tia Stone organized several protests and talks about the organizing steps involved in the rally and march from the Boulevard Mall to the Convention Center on Donald Trump's 74th birthday - June 14, 2020. The Boulevard Mall is at 3528 S. Maryland Parkway and the walk to the Convention Center at 3150 Paradise is 1.4 miles, an easy walk on most days. The organized crowd of approximately 800 people required more time than usual. This protest in the wake of George Floyd's murder was composed of about 20% Blacks, some Latin Americans, with a majority white contingency. Tia believes in unification and desires new and more humane protocols from the local police department and understands the importance of an effective citizen's review board. Tia has stepped away from organizing since her recent marriage.
