If Not Now, When? If Not Us, Who?
WE WILL BY ANY MEANS, PEACEFULLY AND NON-VIOLENTLY NECESSARY, WITH AS MANY PEOPLE WHO WILL JOIN US AND SUPPORT US TO PEACEFULLY CLOSE THIS NATION DOWN.
AMERICA HAS A CHOICE: END RACIST POLICE KILLING OF BLACK MEN OR THERE WILL BE NO PEACE AND TRANQUILITY.
YES WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING “SICK AND TIRED”!
Are we anti-Police? No; we are simply anti-racist based police shooting of Black men. Do we respect the police? Yes, we do, when they apply their law enforcement powers equally and the same to white people as they do to Black men.
In the context of the legacy of the institution of slavery, racial segregation, white supremacy, and historic incidents like Birmingham, AL in April and May of 1963, the police killing of 129 Black men recited above,UNDER CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES, police in America, must earn our respect.
Therefore, this AUGUST 28th, 2016, with the support of current communication technology, people of good will in every city and town across our nation should gather locally in their community in commemoration of THE 1963 MARCH ON WASHINGTON FOR JOBS AND FREEDOM AND DR. KING’S “I HAVE A DREAM” AND PEACEFULLY SHOUT IN UNISON: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
STOP RACIST BASED POLICE KILLING OF BLACK PEOPLE!
WE ARE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS”
