The Unitarian Universalist Church in the Denver-Boulder Metro Area are joining others to rally and march for Justice for Michael Brown and an end to police violence and systematic racism in Denver.

Denver March and Rally for Justice

Tomorrow, Tuesday August 19th, at 6:00pm
24th & Welton to CO State Capitol

After Thursday's National Moment of Silence, many of us felt inspired and moved to continue working hard and nonviolently for justice for Mike Brown, and for an end to systemic violence against black people and people of color.

There will be a rally and march Tuesday, August 19 beginning at 6 PM MDT. We will gather at 24th & Welton at 6. Gathering time 6-6:30.

Our rally will begin at 6:30 and we will march to the Capitol at 6:45, via Broadway.

Bring signs, chants, songs, poems, water, and energy to continue on in this struggle for justice and true equality. Spread the word far and wide. Make flyers and talk to people about it. We hope to arrive at the Capitol between 7:20 and 7:30, well before sunset.

"We who believe in freedom cannot rest. --Ella Baker

Whether it is something as relatively mundane as trolling the interwebs, or, the violence of hit-and-run, people are pretty good about being nasty to one another. And we see it all over. We see it in Ferguson, we see it in New York, we see it in Denver, it's everywhere. Sexism, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, ablism, people shutting down discussions on any of these items, rudely.

I don't remember when the last time I've been able to go anywhere without encountering at least one dick. Usually more.

Why?

Are we dealing with an increase of people with dickish tendencies? Do we just notice it more? Any thoughts by people who routinely go out of their way to be a dick? What motivates you?

I'd like to say that there was an easy, simple, two paragraph way to address the systemic problems in our nation's law enforcement community. I wish we could just pass a single law and take care of it all. But, unfortunately, that's not possible. The issue is far too complex: you have everything from style of dress, to command structure, to the blue-code, to the general cynicism and 'us-vs-them' mentality. But not only that, you're dealing with one massive gray area, where some of the same powers and authorities that police use to keep situations calm can easily be used to rob our populations of liberty, or life.

I decided to start off with a diary entry, completely opinion and general observation, about media personalities and those who listen.
