Peaceful March In Dubuque Follows Shooting in Kenosha

A peaceful demonstration organized by Switching Places Foundation drew about 300 participants as they marched down North Grandview Avenue in Dubuque on Wednesday night. Organizers held the event following the August 23rd shooting of Jacob Blake by police in Kenosha. Although Blake survived the shooting, the incident left him paralyzed from the waist down. The demonstration was held in honor of Blake, as well as Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, who were shot and killed by a 17 year old from Illinois during protests in Kenosha following Blake’s shooting. Wednesday’s protest was the latest in a series of peaceful gatherings held in Dubuque in recent months.
