“There is a war on Black people in America that cannot be ignored and the Black Brunch tactic is one that is committed to interrupting ‘business as usual’ until the war against us has ended,” reads a statement written by #BlackBrunch organizers.

“Young Black leaders organized Black Brunch in response to the historic violence and unjust crimes committed against Black people in America,” the statement continues.

It’s time to establish an anti-war group in Milwaukee to oppose US war and imperialism, racism, and occupation. We stand against the occupation of Palestine, the police brutality against Black and Brown brothers and sisters, and escalation of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. If you agree, let’s meet and start working together. Let’s have a presence in the city to build the anti-war movement, and connect our struggles against US war, racism, and imperialism.

Calling All Concerned Community Members:

Logistics:
What: Mass Meeting to Discuss Justice in Milwaukee
Where: All Peoples Church (2600 N. 2nd St.)
When: Wednesday December 7th, 5:00-7:30pm
How: 2 Part Meeting: Part 1 Civil Disobedience Training (5pm) Part 2 Membership/Community Committees (6pm)

Details:
The Coalition for Justice will be hosting our bi-weekly Mass Meeting on Wednesday, January 7th at All Peoples Church (2600 N 2nd St, Milwaukee, WI) to discuss our commitment toward pursuing justice in our city. This meeting will look somewhat different than previous meetings, given that it will be broken up into two parts.

The first part will begin at 5pm and be a Civil disobedience training. Given that our organization is one that believes in the power of direct action and civil disobedience as effective means to bring awareness to our cause, we want to begin working with all of you so that we are all prepared to engage in these actions.

The second part of this meeting will begin at 6pm and be the establishment of membership and our community committees. These will be opportunities for individuals to get directly involved in the strategic planning/execution with the coalition. There are several committees for you to choose from including (but not limited to) Education, Legal, Fundraising, Art, Community Engagement, etc. We would love to have you join one of these committees to help us move forward in our pursuit.

We would love to get as many community members in this space as possible so please invite your friends, family, and colleagues. Students and children are also welcomed. Please join us, and let your voice be heard. We are going to continue this fight, and we want you to be a part of securing justice in our city!

See you Wednesday!
