Madison: Cops Arrest Solidarity Singers at State Capitol, People’s Resistance Moves Forward

From People’s Journalists Jenna Pope and Rebecca Kemble:

Arrests happening at the Wisconsin State Capitol right now! The sing along that has been going every weekday at the Wisconsin State Capitol since March 2011 has dealt with a lot of attempts to stop it from happening, including the administrative code at the building being changed in December of 2012 to specifically target those at the sing along. Walker’s administration has had a hard time figuring out how to stop this from happening, and after using an LRAD inside the building several days ago, today police declared the sing along an unlawful assembly and are now arresting participants of the sing along.
An 80 year old ‪#‎wiunion‬ defender arrested during the crackdown today at the Wisconsin State Capitol daily sing along.

Justice 4 Trayvon! Help Peoples Power Assemblies Send Delegation to Florida

More Information: http://tinyurl.com/mt3yekn

  • Help send a Peoples Power Assembly delegation on July 24-28 to stand with the Dream Defenders who are sittng-in at the Florida Capitol!
  • Justice for Trayvon Martin!
  • Stop the racist “Stand Your Ground” law!

Donate here  to help send delegation!

The strong response in opposition to the July 13 “not-guilty” verdict for racist vigilante, George Zimmerman — who fatally shot unarmed 17-year-old, Trayvon Martin, last year in Sanford, Fla. – prompted a group of mainly Black and Brown youth activists  – the Dream Defenders – to occupy the office of Gov. Rick Scott in Florida’s state Capitol in Tallahassee, on July 16.

The activists are demanding that the governor call a special legislative session to repeal the “Stand Your Ground” law, which Zimmerman initially used as an “excuse” to kill Martin, whom he claimed look “suspicious.”

We must all support their just struggle!

The Defenders are demanding the passage of a Trayvon Martin Act to outlaw racial profiling, the “Stand Your Ground” law and the school-to-prison pipeline policies.

Defenders’ field director, Curtis Hierro, stated, “Rick Scott has awoken a sleeping giant.  We are going to work. Dream Defenders call for people around the nation to converge at Florida’s Capitol to join us as we stand our ground for Trayvon.”

Buses are being organized from around the U.S. to converge in Tallahassee in solidarity with the sit-in.

Help send a Peoples Power Assembly delegation to Tallahassee to stand with the Dream Defenders.  We ask for your support in covering travel, food and housing expenses. Donate here …  Read more about Peoples Power Assemblies at peoplespowerassemblies.org. (The International Action Center iacenter.org supports this appeal).
