August 9th will be the 1-year anniversary of the murder of Michael Brown by killer cop Darren Wilson. August 8-10 will be marked by activities in Ferguson and St. Louis. In response to the murder of Michael Brown, defiant youth and others took to W. Florissant Ave. for days and then weeks refusing to back down in the face of tear gas, rubber bullets, and National Guard. This was HISTORIC. It sent a shock wave waking up millions and inspiring a nationwide struggle for justice long overdue. The Ferguson rebellion was righteous, needed and must be upheld. The people who stood up should be recognized for their courage, sacrifice and the huge difference their actions made.
The cold blooded, brutal murder of Michael Brown was covered up and justified, first by the St. Louis County Grand Jury and then by the Dept. of (IN)Justice. This showed once again why people were right to stand up and refuse to wait for justice that never comes while murder by police never stops.
1 year after the police murder of Michael Brown there is still no justice. Our struggle needs to grow stronger, more determined and much larger. As we act on this anniversary in Ferguson, also join with Cornel West and Carl Dix’s call for a major national manifestation against police terror and get organized for #RiseUpOctober to STOP Police Terror on October 24 in New York City.
