Organisers are expecting a big crowd to turn up to a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Harrogate this weekend.
The demonstration starts on Saturday at 2pm on Montpellier Hill. They will advise people to keep their distance and speakers will talk about their experiences of racism.
Josephine Mary decided to set up the event in response to the death of George Floyd and because she felt like she had not done enough to stand up to racism.
It will be the second Black Lives Matter protest after people gathered to take a knee by the war memorial at the start of the month.
