08-16 march against police brutality
We had over 40,000 AF of L & C of IO alone. I drove cab in Seattle for 5 years and I know what 50,000 people looks like. That many leave every Husky game, or Seahawks game.
We had over 100,000 people in our streets. When we ask ourselves "Who are we?" Know this: We are the AF of L & C of IO. WE are the greater Seattle council of churches (Methodist, Episcopalian, Jew, Muslim and Baptist) The First United methodist Church is where we met to go to the convergence at the Exhibition hall. We are the sierra club.
And we certainly arte the communists, socialists, Democrats, Republicans (sic),. So as I am standing with Labor, Church, and Environment, I ask "WHO Aren't WE?"
The politics of exclusion is an ugly art, but "Who Aren't We? The media got beta up. Ask Brian Woods, KIRO TV (CBS)reporter, who was beat, as were we all. His job means a lot to him, but I long for the day he becomes anchor of KIRO in Seattle. We own our democratic institutions. Our streets!
Our schools! Our police! Our finest! Our politicians. They are our neighbors, our future friends! Two steps forward, one more step forward! Free Mumia! JEE
