From Youth Organizer for #RiseUpOctober in New Paltz
“It is time, New Paltz, to stand up for what is right”
October 19, 2015 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
New York—Come to New York, Change history, Come. Be part of standing up and saying NO MORE. Police terror must stop! We must collectively say that black and brown lives matter in this country! Which side are YOU on? Do you stand with the families who have lost loved ones to sanctioned murder by the police or with the Racist, Sexist, Ignorant, Corrupt police departments in this country? Power to the People.
Rise up New Paltz, rise up and say where you stand. You’ve seen name after name on the news and hashtag after hashtag. Each name and hashtag was a person with a family and a beating heart. Murder by the police cannot continue. These murders are the lynchings or our time. These black and brown men and women were killed for minor or no apparent crime. These victims have subsequently been dehumanized by the police in varying accounts. Black and brown people have been disproportionately robbed of their bodies based on skin color alone, which has been allowed in the police system.
It is time, New Paltz, to stand up for what is right and once and for all bring an end to this racist murder and mass incarceration.
The national march will take place in Washington Square Park in Manhattan at 11 am.
