1 Year Commemoration of the Murder of Michael Brown, the Ferguson Rebellion, & the Black Lives Matter uprising.

Last August, the execution of another unarmed young Black man, Michael Brown on the streets of Ferguson Mo, ignited a rebellion against racist police violence. That rebellion, which came to be known as Black Lives Matter, spread across the nation and the world. The Black Summer coalition, which includes many of the forces that have been fighting police violence, invites you to commemorate the one year anniversary of Ferguson on Sunday, Aug. 9 at 12 noon in front of the Barclay center in Brooklyn (address). The police war against Black and Brown people must end. All lives will matter, when Black Lives Matter.

WHEN: Monday, July 13, 2015 – 4:00PM CT / 5:00PM ET

MEDIA EVENT / RAPID RESPONSE EVENT:

Scott Walker’s extreme politics, cronyism, and his Koch and ALEC agenda have harmed families, workers, students, women, immigrants, and the environment since he was first elected. Wisconsinites will share personal stories about how Scott Walker’s agenda has affected their everyday lives, and warn the country not to let Scott Walker do to America what he has done to Wisconsin.

Grassroots activists will continue demonstrating before and during Scott Walker’s announcement event to show that the people of Wisconsin are against his cruel policies.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker will officially announce he’s running for the presidency of the United States at 5 p.m. July 13, 2015 in Waukesha, WI. Since his election as governor, Walker –on behalf of big business and the banks-has waged unrelenting war on all poor and working people with the evisceration of a variety of progressive laws won in people’s struggles over the decades. Join us as we continue to resist the Walker program of union busting austerity! Bring your union-community signs, banners & some noise! Protest in your city if you can’t come to Waukesha! An Injury To One Is An Injury To All!

Only a mass mobilization of all the people of Wisconsin can stop and reverse the many attacks on us. We can and must tell those bankers, corporate bosses and their paid flunkey politicians “NO MORE!” We say NO to Scott Walker for president! We demand that Wisconsin and the country be rebuilt for the poor and working people! SOLIDARITY!

“What, to the American slave, is your 4^th of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy—a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on this earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour.”

— Douglass, Frederick, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?,” speech given to the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society, Rochester Hall, Rochester, New York, on July 5, 1852. Douglass Archives of American Public Address, Northwestern University <http://douglass.speech.nwu.edu/doug_a10.htm>
