September 29th - October 5th!!!<\/p>\r\n\r\n
WHY PARTCIPATE????<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Our hearts go out to all those who have lost loved\r\nones in the World Trade Center disaster. We empathize\r\nwith the deep pain of losing a loved one, of having a\r\nson, husband, daughter leave in the morning for work,\r\nor run to the corner store, or go outside to play and\r\nnever return. We have seen thousands of lives lost to\r\npolice brutality.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Now we are being asked to forget about all the people\r\nkilled by brutal police - to forget about how NYC has\r\nsymbolized a nationwide epidemic of police brutality\r\nAND resistance to it. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
They want us to lay down our fight for justice,\r\nsilence ourselves and stop resisting. \r\nNo. We will not. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
They want a blank check to enact one repressive\r\nmeasure after another, detaining immigrants\r\nindefinitely, road blocks, searches, no questions\r\nasked. \r\nThe effect this will have on brutal police who have\r\nalready been allowed to get away with murder can only\r\nmean more brutality. \r\nNo. We will not. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
They want us to support or look the other way as\r\nracial and ethnic profiling single out Arabs, Muslims\r\nand just about anybody with brown skin. \r\nNo. We will not.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
They want us to accept whole new sections of people\r\nbeing criminalized before our very eyes-- in the same\r\nway they have criminalized a whole generation and \r\nimprisoned nearly 2 million people. \r\nNo. We will not. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
For all these reasons, and more, the October 22\r\nNational Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality,\r\nRepression and the Criminalization of a Generation is \r\nmore important than ever.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
