From Khalil Coleman:
Peoples Movement! Day 32✊🏾
Today, Monday June 29th at 3:30pm we’ll be at 4160 N. Port Washington Rd at the Probation and Parole division building. We will be there to support Joel Acevedo’s family’s fight for justice. We will be leaving (driving) promptly at 5:45pm at the latest in order to arrive at the Wauwatosa City Hall (7725 W. North Ave) at 6:30pm for a meeting discussing budget, policy and deployment of body worn cameras for the Wauwatosa police department. Chief of Wauwatosa Police Barry Weber will be giving a presentation.
Today’s events are extremely important to our local and immediate demands for justice. Invite everyone you know.
If you’d like to bring signs pertinent to today’s events, include phrases along the lines of “Justice for Joel” “Suspects not witnesses” “Fire Barry Weber” “Prosecute Joseph Mensah” etcetera.

“…. This moment is definitely a little different from 2014 and 2015. This moment is building on everything that came before it. The last several years have been critical. Ferguson was the seed. A lot of us had seen this before. So no, folks were not going to be so patient this time. We’re also seeing that same wave consciousness from six, seven years ago take hold of a new generation now. For those who may have been too young to understand the significance of Freddie Gray and Sandra Bland, now it’s George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
What’s different in this particular moment is the compounded effects of the collapse of capitalism. Not only did folks witness a public lynching for eight minutes and 46 seconds, almost half the country is underemployed or unemployed. Resources are being allocated to more policing and militarization, yet during the coronavirus outbreak, we had doctors and nurses who couldn’t get protective gear to do their jobs. Police have tanks and rubber bullets, but hospitals can’t even get ventilators and enough beds. What sense does that make? That’s capitalism.
The billionaires made more billions. We got a one-time check for $1,200 — that is, if you qualified. This contradiction of capitalism and humanity was really made clear to a lot of people. This is the empire crumbling and I think people can really see this for themselves now. We’re also at the point where people are like, “Man, what do I have to lose? I might as well get involved.” It almost feels like the early stages of a revolution and the true toppling of the old systems….”
