APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – After its Black Lives Matter banner was stolen for the fourth time, the Fox Valley church will hold a fundraiser.
According to leaders with the Fox Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, the banner vanished Friday night or Saturday morning from the sign outside the church along Calumet Street in Appleton.
Officials say a security camera was pointed at the banner, but since the camera was not on the proper setting for nighttime, it couldn’t provide a clear view of who stole the banner.
A group called Showing Up for Racial Justice Appleton will collect donations Thursday afternoon in response to the continued problems. Donations will go towards the national Black Lives Matter movement.
A collection station on the corner of Calumet and Matthias streets will be staffed from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday. A demonstration is also planned in front of the church at 2600 Philips Lane.
