Join #RiseUpOctober and Stop Mass Incarceration Network Chicago at the mass march and rally to Stop Police Crimes! this Sat, Aug 29
Federal Plaza, Adams & Dearborn, Chicago 12:00 noon
Thousands of people have risen up in the last year to demand that the police stop their wanton and repeated killings of Black and Latino people. But the police, backed from on high, have continued this onslaught and lashed back harder. This is the spear point of a genocide.
Yet way too many people still sit on the sidelines. We must unite people everywhere to resist this horror together. Let our voices be heard, and let’s not stop until this Police Terror STOPS.
#RiseUpOctober, initiated by Dr. Cornel West and Carl Dix, aims to mobilize many more thousands of people, from all walks of life, much more actively into this fight, to powerfully insist through our actions on October 22 – 24 that these murders must stop, NOW. October 22nd – demonstrations and actions in cities everywhere. October 24th – New York City.
Such an unprecedented outpouring of protest and resistance, along with the whole process of building up to October 22 – 24, would awaken and inspire millions, and sharply challenge the whole society and the whole world – WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?
The aim is to get things to the point where there are millions in this country who both feel in their bones that this system of intimidation, terror and murder is INTOLERABLE… and are willing to step out and act in all different ways to stop this, and have the ways to do so. These actions in October aim to change the whole tenor and direction of society.
On Saturday, look for the Stolen Lives banner, which has pictures of a small fraction of the people across this country murdered by the police. Join with us as we carry placards of the faces of young men and women killed by police. Bring your signs.
On October 22 – 24, actively join with tens of thousands of people across the country who want to put an end to police terror and murder!
See you Saturday at the Federal Plaza!
Look for the Stolen Lives Banner!
