Be out there on October 22nd fighting for a future where it is no longer acceptable for police to brutalize and murder people for being in the wrong neighborhood, speaking the wrong language or being the wrong color. Where people aren't blown away for pulling out their wallet or a cell phone. Where youth have

decent education and meaningful work, not years in prison. Where people can protest without being spied on, shut down and beaten by police. We must stand together and say in a loud, powerful voice:

STOP POLICE BRUTALITY, REPRESSION and the

CRIMINALIZATION of a GENERATION!

OCTOBER 22nd--NO MORE STOLEN LIVES!

WEAR BLACK! FIGHT BACK!
