Virginia Baptists Support the Boycott

CROWN BOYCOTT COORDINATOR James Broaddus spoke on behalf of the locked-out workers in May at the 132nd Annual Session of the Virginia Baptist State Convention in Richmond, Virginia.

Dr. Geoffrey V. Guns, President of the Virginia State Convention, invited the delegates to join the Adopt-A- Crown Station program and will be assisting to launch the program in the Tidewater area in the coming weeks.

Dr. Guns will be networking with pastors and other leaders in the community, and will allow PACE to speak at the National Crusade for Christ Program .

Thanks also goes to Rev. Bennie Mitchell, Director of the Labor Relations Department of the National Baptist Convention USA, Inc., for informing key activists, including Rev. Guns, about the Crown Boycott.
