From Protest to Policy: Five Years of SIREN

Five Years. One Movement. Countless Voices.
Celebrate the people and power behind SIREN and its fight for justice.

Live Music | Community Awards | Food & Fellowship
Friday, Nov 7 | Harvest Park | Keynote: Noble Sissle Jr.

Join us at McClellan’s at Monarch Café for a special evening celebrating five years of SIREN’s impactful work — from grassroots protest to real policy change.

Our keynote guest, Noble Sissle Jr., will share the powerful story of his father’s time training in Spartanburg during World War I — and how a racially charged incident here sent ripples across the world.

Why come?
Because movements don’t last without people. Join local changemakers, neighbors, and friends to honor how far we’ve come — and imagine what’s next for racial equity in Spartanburg.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of something bigger — a movement for justice, equity, and community.
