OCCUPY RIVERSIDE TO DEFEND FREE SPEECH FROM POLICE BRUTALITY

RALLY AND MARCH PLANNED IN RESPONSE TO AGGRESSION

WHO: Community members, police brutality victims

WHAT: A march and rally to defend the freedoms of speech and peaceable assembly against police brutality. Victims will share their testimonies and tie their experiences to the larger Occupy Movement.

WHEN: Friday, November 11, 2011


Gather at 11:30, march at 12

WHERE: Begins at Occupy Riverside encampment on the downtown pedestrian walkway on University between Market and Orange (in front of the Wells Fargo).


Ends at Riverside Police Department, 4102 Orange Street, Riverside, CA 92505

WHY: At 4:00 PM Sunday, November 6, thirty Riverside Police Department officers in riot gear entered the Occupy Riverside encampment and began dismantling and confiscating tents and other personal belongings. The peaceful protesters looked on in horror as their fourth amendment rights were violated in this manner. When officers moved to dismantle the People?s Kitchen, which provides three daily meals to occupiers and anyone else who is hungry, the people decided to take a stand. In an act of non-violent civil disobedience, they formed a human chain to protect the kitchen, locking arms in a circle. Officers broke the chain, throwing many women and men to the ground. People had their faces smashed into the concrete, were pinned to the ground by their necks and heads, and one woman, the primary volunteer in the People?s Kitchen, suffered a sprained wrist. Eleven people were arrested on charges ranging from obstructing a public official to the trumped-up charges of assault with a deadly weapon and assault on an officer. One woman, not a participant in the civil disobedience, was targeted simply for video recording the abuse. Occupy Riverside denounces this police abuse and will take a stand to defend our right to free speech and peaceable assembly.

-END-

Occupy Riverside is a leaderless movement dedicated to occupying downtown Riverside for the purpose of creating a space for dialogue concerning the grievances of the 99% who are disempowered and who have been failed by the political and economic systems. We are in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and all the occupations throughout the world!
