A Call to Action: Come to Ferguson this Weekend!
August 20, 2014 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
If the police murder of Michael Brown, and now the second assassination of his character in the media, is just too much for you to take…
If the illegitimate police state response to the protests infuriates and alarms you and you don’t want to just accept this as “the way it is”…
If you are inspired that those who have been demonized and despised for years have now stood up and begun to raise their sights, and along with many, many people from all walks of life, have courageously stood their ground…
If you want a world without the endless chain of murders of Black and Brown youth by a system which has no place, no future for them…
If you want to see the cop who killed Michael Brown charged NOW…
Then come to Ferguson this weekend.
Be there to witness!
Be there to protest!
Be there to stand in solidarity with those who have stood up!
We say NO MORE!
* And as we fight for justice in the case of Michael Brown, get ready for the October Month of Resistance to Mass Incarceration, Police Terror, Repression, and the Criminalization of a Generation.
