Donate to Ferguson Volunteers
August 12, 2015 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
Funds are urgently needed NOW to sustain crews of volunteers who left home to come to Ferguson for the anniversary of Mike Brown’s murder and the start of the Ferguson rebellion. We came to stand with the people, to uphold the Ferguson rebellion in the face of attempts to repress and slander it, and to spread the message of the Which Side Are You On?/Rise Up October National Speaking Tour. These volunteers include family members of police murder victims, youth tired of being treated like criminals—guilty until proven innocent if they can survive to prove their innocence—and longtime activists and people down with the movement for revolution. These volunteers have been in the street with people facing down cops firing rubber bullets and pepper spraying people in an attempt to suppress the righteous protests again this year. And these volunteers have been organizing people and raising their sights.
Funds are needed for food, gas, lodging, and materials. The volunteers need to, and want to, stay here during this crucial moment. But they cannot stay without your support.
Once again the eyes of the world are riveted on Ferguson. The stakes are enormous. As we have said in words and deeds—it was right to rebel a year ago, and it’s right to rebel now! Your contributions will make it possible to carry this work forward.
