 Demonstrations in Ferguson drew people from all over the country and riveted the attention of millions.
The next critical step is on October 22: protests to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation. POWERFUL protests of THOUSANDS on October 22 can further radically change how people think about what is just and unjust, what is legitimate and illegitimate, what is tolerable and what must not be tolerated in relation to this continual and horrific racist police abuse and murder... These demonstrations must embody a spirit of telling the truth and a spirit of defiance. They must build on everything that has gone before. Youths from the inner-city high schools and youths who have been pushed out of the school system... joining with college students... with the parents of those who have been murdered and incarcerated bearing witness... along with many people of conscience who refuse to live in this kind of society ...all out together. In the centers of the cities and in the neighborhoods. All over. Contacts and List of Assembly Points for October 22, 2014 NO SECRET DEMONSTRATIONS!
