ALL OUT / Milwaukee, December 9: Whose City? Our City! Rally and March For Justice

EVENT: http://tinyurl.com/lnvm6t2

Tuesday, December 9 at 4 p.m., Red Arrow Park, 1000 N. Water Street, Milwaukee

Dontre Hamilton was shot 14 times at Red Arrow Park on April 30, 2014. Its been 7 months since former Milwaukee Police Officer Christopher Manney viciously murdered him, however there has been no decision made on whether or not he operated outside of police protocol when he fired 14 bullets into an unarmed man, for sleeping in a public park.

We can not stand for this kind of negligence and reckcless disregard for human life any longer, especially from those individuals who take an oath to protect and serve us. We must stand up to this system that brutalizes us, because OUR LIVES MATTER.

Please join us at Red Arrow Park (our Ground Zero) Tuesday December 9 at 4 pm as we rally and march to demand justice for Dontre and all of the men and women who have been victims of police brutality in our city and across this nation.

“…paid sick and parental leave is a basic human need. Everyone deserves basic protections for their health. We all have families that we need to take care of and spend time with. President Scott Coltrane knows this. He has dedicated his life to studying the importance of having both parents involved in their children’s lives right from their earliest moments. Letting our health, wellbeing and family relationships deteriorate because we do not have access to paid leave is unacceptable…”

“In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as ‘right to work.’ It is a law to rob us of our civil rights and job rights.
Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining by which unions have improved wages and working conditions of everyone…Wherever these laws have been passed, wages are lower, job opportunities are fewer and there are no civil rights. We do not intend to let them do this to us. We demand this fraud be stopped.” — Dr. Martin Luther King, speaking about right-to-work (for less) laws in 1961

“…And some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. …Over the past two years, as I have moved to break the betrayal of my own silences and to speak from the burnings of my own heart, as I have called for radical departures from the destruction of Vietnam, many persons have questioned me about the wisdom of my path. At the heart of their concerns this query has often loomed large and loud: “Why are you speaking about the war, Dr. King?” “Why are you joining the voices of dissent?” “Peace and civil rights don’t mix,” they say. “Aren’t you hurting the cause of your people,” they ask? And when I hear them, though I often understand the source of their concern, I am nevertheless greatly saddened, for such questions mean that the inquirers have not really known me, my commitment or my calling. Indeed, their questions suggest that they do not know the world in which they live… We must continue to raise our voices and our lives if our nation persists in its perverse ways in Vietnam. We must be prepared to match actions with words by seeking out every creative method of protest possible…” Dr. King, “Beyond Vietnam-A Time To Break Silence” (Delivered April 4, 1967, Riverside Church) http://tinyurl.com/45hm9
