The rebellion our people are waging in Ferguson must be supported. But, spontaneous rebellions are not enough. The only way we are going to successfully defend ourselves from genocide is to build a massive social movement with self-determination and self defense as its central unifying principles. We need a coordinated movement that strategically takes on the systemic oppression and exploitation that prevent Black people from exercising self-determination and human rights. We have to defend ourselves if we want to survive…

The National Network on Cuba (NNOC) stands in solidarity with the people of Ferguson, Missouri in their justified outrage at the racist killing of their community member, young Michael Brown. We send warmest condolences to the heartbroken and anguished Brown family whose child’s life was brutally, senselessly and callously ended.
If only Michael Brown died at the hands of the police, it would be tragedy enough. But the police killings across the U.S. are epidemic and symptomatic that another world is necessary. Youth of color — Afro-decendents, Latino, Indigenous/Native — are targeted, demonized and channeled from school to prison.
According to the Malcolm X Grassroot Movement (http://mxgm.org/report-on-the-extrajudicial-killings-of-120-black-people/) ” in the first six months of this year, (2012) one Black person every 36 hours was executed. This wanton disregard for Black life resulted in the killing of 13 year-old children, fathers taking care of their kids, women driving the wrong cars, as well as people with mental health and drug problems.”
Especially the youth of Ferguson — and the rainbow of protest in cities across the U.S. — who so fearlessly demand the truth be told and justice done for Mike Brown, are welcome social change agents.
We join with them in demanding: HANDS UP! Police guns down. Justice not curfews and repression.
