The
murder of Walter Scott in South Carolina, shot down by a cop the way
a slave chaser would gun down a rebellious slave, on top of
everything else that has happened in the past few months, calls out
to us – What are you going to do now?
On
April 14, people in cities across the country will take to the
streets to disrupt business as usual because business as usual in
this country includes police getting away with murdering Black and
Latino people. What will you do on this day?
Will you join Cornel
West, Eve Ensler, Arturo O'Farrill, Reverend Calvin Butts, Cindy
Sheehan, Jasmine Guy, Jasiri X, many family members of police murder
victims and others in the streets on that day?
Will you add your
voice to those speaking out against the system to stop giving a green
light to brutal, murdering cops? Will you make a serious financial
donation
to make this mobilization as powerful as it needs to be to STOP
murders by police?
Go
to the Stop Mass
Incarceration Network web site, which has talks given by Cornel
West and me at an Emergency Meeting on April 6 in NYC.
Get
back to me as soon as you can by email, or twitter.
What
you do, or don't do, could make the difference between taking big
strides toward stopping the horror of police getting away with
murder, or seeing this horror continuing to happen again and again.
