About wibailoutpeople

We are a part of the national Bail Out The People movement which formed in 2008 to fight against the bailouts to the banks. Since then we have been in numerous fights against poverty, racism and war. We demand that the people be bailed out not the banks, a moratorium on all foreclosures, a federal jobs program now and other demands. We have been participating in the Wisconsin people's uprising, Bloombergville in NYC and numerous other people's actions.

Milwaukee, January 4: It Takes A Village To Give LUV To The Hood / Take The Hood Back

Posted on by

EVENT: http://tinyurl.com/o2lc9u4

In recent accounts of injustice across the nation, we have been highly connected to the struggle of police brutality and lack of criminal charges by the DA’s office; Derek Williams, Corey Stingley, James Perry, and now Dontre Hamilton.

However, in 2014 we had the highest year of child deaths from block gun violence. We understand our fight is two fold, and we can not ignore the everyday problems faced in our backyard, either related to police abuse of power, or lack of love creating hate by neighborhoods.

Come walk the hood with us. Stand in prayer circles, reach out to neighbors, let our VOICES BE HEARD. Our community is waiting for us to change our own conditions, so let’s stop waiting on the government force to correct our situations. Lets police, correct, and build our own.

Ferguson to Madison EVENT: http://tinyurl.com/p5tuta6

https://www.facebook.com/fergusontomadison

Die-in at the North Madison Police station, Saturday January 3 at 3:30 pm.

Meet at UW Northeast Family Clinic Parking lot. Entrance on Dryden, near autozone. We will march and then Die-in.

We bring our actions to the North side, as many of our people are living in poverty there. We will no longer tolerate the status quo, that living in poverty is a crime, that mass-incarceration is a solution to crimes of poverty. That we are here for all the black women, men, lesbian, gay, queer, transgender, bi, and more that have died and suffered at the hands of the state. That this will no longer be an accepted reality.

We demand the $8 million for the new jail be reallocated to community led resources. No new jail funding

We demand the release of 350 black people from the dane county jail and the release of those incarcerated due to crimes of poverty

We demand an end to solitary confinement.

For Official Release from The Coalition For Justice:

To Milwaukee Police Department,

The Coalition for Justice is an organization committed to action in the name of justice. We have been involved in the struggle for justice in this city for several months as an organized group, and have sought only to activate the power of the people to stand united against police violence and brutality.

We write to you today to firmly and unequivocally say that we will not tolerate police intimidation and harassment of peaceful protesters and community members who are exercising their rights as citizens of this city and country. There have now been several incidents regarding this intimidation (unwarranted traffic stops, police surveillance outside of protesters homes, targeting specific protesters for arrest/harassment, etc.) that have been reported to us from the individuals who have been victims of this torment. This must stop now.

It is our right to protest unjust laws and governmental actions, and we should be able to do so peacefully without fear of redress from those who are sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. We will not be bullied. Let this statement serve as an official record that we have taken notice of these patterns of practice, and we will act swiftly to address them through direct action in our streets and through changes to policy & procedure.

Regards,
The Coalition For Justice

Calling All Concerned Citizens of Milwaukee:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We just want to thank all of you that rocked with us in 2014, and help bring attention and awareness to Dontre Hamilton’s case and the Milwaukee fight for justice. It was truly amazing to see all of your faces and stand alongside you to fight for freedom in our city. NOW WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO OUR FIGHT FOR JUSTICE! LET’S GO!

We will be gathering at Red Arrow Park (1000 N. Water St.) on Friday, January 2nd at 2:30pm for a National March and Press Conference with the Rainbow Push Coalition to announce in MKE the Federal Investigation into the murder of Dontre Hamilton.

LOGISTICS:

Please join us at 2.30pm at Red Arrow Park (our ground zero, w…here Dontre Hamilton was shot 14 times by former Milwaukee Police Officer Christopher Manney). From there we will march down to the Federal Building to join with Reverend Jessie Jackson & the Rainbow Push Coalition where together we will host a joint press conference and subsequent march back to Red Arrow Park together.

Once back at Red Arrow we will do a small rally and address the crowd to give logistics for what’s coming next. We will leave Read Arrow Park shortly thereafter together as an escorted processional to Holy Temple First Born Church (4960 N. 18th Street). The processional will line up along Water Street, with the first car beginning at Buffalo Wild Wings (1123 N. Water St.).

We are asking that everyone join our processional to the church for a mass community gathering (beginning at 6pm), where we will be joined by Reverend Jackson and many of the families who have lost loved ones to police violence and brutality. We will host a community meeting where we will discuss next steps and how to elevate our fight, to ensure that we get justice for Dontre Hamilton as well as all of the families of this city who have been wronged by our Police Department.

Please join us for the national march and press conference at Red Arrow at 2.30pm, then the processional and community meeting at Holy Temple First Born at 5.30pm. We hope to see you there.
