Solidarity event to move to Rotary Riverview Park

The Waupaca Police Department provided a brief statement in regard to the Solidarity Event scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 9.

City Administrator Aaron Jenson told the Waupaca County Post that the event will be held in Rotary Riverview Park, behind Main Street in downtown Waupaca.

“The Waupaca Police Department and city leadership recently met with event organizers to discuss event details to ensure it is a safe environment for all.
“We want to express our appreciation to event organizers for communicating these details and working through the appropriate channels.

“In regards to the event, we have been monitoring statements on social media that only escalate emotions. It is our duty to serve and protect all of our citizens. Any rhetoric that could be deemed as threatening only further complicates things for all involved.

“We look forward to doing our part in demonstrating our values by providing a safe environment in which our community can have productive conversations around challenging issues. We thank everyone in advance for also playing your role.”
