No indictments so far for the murders of Mike Brown, John Crawford, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Akai Gurley, or countless others killed in cold blood with no remorse in their own neighborhoods while posing minimal to no threat to anyone.
Concerned taxpayers and organizers have rallied students, workers, shoppers, celebrities, news anchors, and just about everyone else we can get our hands on to take the streets. To demand justice. To shut things down and put a stop to the grave injustices our "justice" system has become notorious for throughout the globe.
So far, protesters have blocked off major arteries and roadways nationwide, chained themselves to trains, and staged mass die-ins in malls throughout the country. A national call to boycott Black Friday resulted in an 11% profit plunge from last year, instead of the 4% increase retailers had promised Wall Street.
On December 4th, protesters will join striking fast food workers and retail workers in the streets to shut it all down together as one.
Below is a call for a mass day of action on December 13th. Millions will march to demand justice at the federal level. At the time of this writing, more than 8,000 Facebookers plan to attend the NYC action. There are countless others in the works. Please follow the links to figure out when and where your local march takes off. Or, hop a bus to NYC and we will welcome you as we do all others - with a dirt-water coffee and a stale slice of WE LOVE YOU. See you in the streets.
MILLIONS MARCH NYC
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13TH @ 2PM
