'Change the Name Now' Plans Street Meeting Against 'Redskins' Name

A Washington, D.C. based organization will hold a “street meeting” urging the Washington NFL team to change their name.

Following yesterday’s historic vote by the D.C. Council calling on the Washington NFL team to change its name, Change the Name Now, a group of organizers and activists building a local campaign to change the name of the Washington Redskins, plan to speak out publicly against the name.
